All The Things
Hi! Welcome to my site. I hope you find it useful. To give you the gist, I provide small scale services as a freelance digital marketer, freelance jamstack developer, and on occasion as a freelance WordPress developer (I usually do more implementation than coding in PHP).
Digital Marketer
I have over 10 years of experience in the digital marketing realm. My strong suits are SEO, email marketing, content, social media, and paid search. I particularly love SEO/IA (information architecture) and email marketing.
Jamstack Developer
I spend more time in Javascript (mainly React) these days. I simply find the unopinionated, highly customizable, custom approach to be more my jam.
Not only does jamstack use the latest technologies it also makes innovation easier. No more being beholden to monolithic applications.
WordPress Developer
I've implemented a lot of websites with WordPress. If you're already comfortable with WordPress it's still a great option (you can always migrate to the jamstack later 😉)
Work With Me
If you have a project in mind, I'm happy to check it out. Either way, feel free to check out my blog or ask me anything, I'll do my best to point you in the right direction!
My Process
Depending on the project I typically will design and prototype with something like Figma then move on coding the project. I tend to stick to a jamstack approach these days, but if you really want to do WordPress I'll do that too (usually doesn't need a prototype phase).
Talk soon 😏
