Web Design Portfolio

Hi there! I'm a web designer with a rich background in program design and event planning. The pandemic was a turning point for me, steering my career towards my true passion: Web Design.

Armed with certificates in front-end web development, graphic design, and computer science, I'm eager to showcase my innovative projects.

My Bachelor of Fine Arts in Theatre has equipped me with invaluable skills like teamwork, creative problem-solving, and a relaxed, approachable attitude. These traits make me a great addition to any team.

Websites for Fun

  • BIPOC Superhero Project - Wordpress

    Client work - lead design and website building for a non-profit community project. Built using WordPress, I also designed the graphics, edited the content on the “About page” and wrote copy for the front page. There will be additional pages added at the end of the summer all the way into 2025. Check it out here!

    Website homepage for the BIPOC Superhero Project, featuring a logo with bold 3D text, a bright background with rays, and menu options including Home, About, The Playwrights, The Theatres, Press, and Gallery. Large text on the page states 'With Great Power... Comes Great Responsibility.'

  • Potluck Party - Flask / Python

    HarvardEdX CS50 Final Project:
    This website is to make potluck planning easy!
    Invite your friends, have them pick what meal their bringing, and even search for recipes using an API. This has register/log-in functionality and a self-designed SQL database for users. Check out the code here!

    A webpage titled 'Potluck Party!' with options to plan, invite, create events, find recipes, and get reminders. It features a registration form with fields for name, password, email, and a 'Sign Up!' button. The background displays an aerial view of various potluck dishes and people holding plates.

  • AI Poems & Jokes - Javascript & AI

    I took the SheCodes AI programming course. The course had us build both a poem and joke generator that uses AI to come up with a poem based on your suggestions, or tell you a silly joke. Try it Here!

    This was a final project for the SheCodes React Developer course. We worked with React to build the app and an API to bring in up-to-date weather for any location. Try it here!
