About Me & My Design Process

I'm a web designer and developer passionate about creating accessible, responsive, and user-centered digital experiences. My approach combines modern design principles with clean, maintainable code.

Design Philosophy

User-Centered Design: Every project starts with understanding the user. I conduct research, create personas, and validate assumptions through testing and feedback.

Accessibility First: I follow WCAG guidelines to ensure my work is usable by everyone, regardless of device or ability. This means semantic HTML, proper contrast ratios, keyboard navigation, and ARIA labels.

Responsive & Mobile-First: I design for all screen sizes, starting with mobile and progressively enhancing for larger displays. This ensures fast, functional experiences everywhere.

Clean Code & Maintainability: Well-organized, documented code that's easy to update and extend. I follow best practices in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

My Process

  1. Discovery: Understand the project goals, audience, and constraints through research and stakeholder interviews.
  2. Strategy: Define information architecture, user flows, and success metrics.
  3. Design: Create wireframes, mockups, and prototypes. Test early and often with real users.
  4. Development: Build with semantic HTML, accessible markup, and responsive CSS. Write clean, testable code.
  5. Testing: Validate across browsers, devices, and assistive technologies. Measure performance and gather feedback.
  6. Launch & Iterate: Deploy and monitor real-world usage. Collect data to inform improvements.
