about me

My web development journey began long before I realised. Neopets, anybody? I learned basic HTML on Neopets, an early 2000s life-simulation game. I’ve moved on a lot from virtual pet shopfronts and now I love front-end development – particularly inventive design systems, headless CMS, a bit of JAMstack and, of course, all things WordPress.

I started agency-side as a junior at a small creative agency, which is where I first began working with WordPress. As my skillset expanded, I joined larger development teams in digital agencies using enterprise CMS like Sitecore and Umbraco. It’s here that I learned more about processes and automation, which reflects in my work today – it allows me to write better code, and to code faster. And these days, I continue to build on my skills by regularly visiting conferences and experimenting with my own projects.

While I’m not Hekla-ing, you’re likely to find me taking photos, refuelling with coffee, on everyday adventures with my daughter – we love exploring – or playing wholesome, lifesim games. (Yes, I’m one of the people that racked up 1000+ hours on Animal Crossing: New Horizons during the pandemic.)
