About me
I’m a web & UX designer and a digital marketer, who has chosen the road less travelled.
I help others build the strong foundation of their own business by designing user-friendly websites.
The backstory
I was born and raised in the beautiful state of Oregon, but I always dreamed of living abroad.
After graduating from high school, I took the traditional path of going to university where I got a degree in graphic design.
I worked as a designer in Portland, Oregon for a couple of years until the call to live abroad became stronger. So I packed up and moved to Copenhagen, Denmark.
It felt like I was living in some sort of fairytale, and I quickly realised that I never wanted to go back to “normal” life.
Europe became home to me, and after a quick year and a half back in the USA after Denmark, I moved to Prague, Czech Republic. Finally, fast forward six years, I moved to the Netherlands in search of new adventures.
Now, my journey hasn’t been all rainbows & unicorns. I definitely did things a bit backwards by knowing I wanted to experience life abroad, but not having a clear path on how to finance my dreams.
I needed to find a way to support myself in this lifestyle, so I slowly built up my skills and experience by becoming a certified full-stack developer, then working in digital marketing for 5+ years, and finally getting a professinal diploma in UX design.
During all of this time, I was designing websites for my friends’ small businesses. I saw a real need for websites to be designed with a good user experience.
I was confident that with my knowledge of graphic design, development, digital marketing, and UX design, I could really help other small businesses gain access to a web designer with a unique cocktail of knowledge to build their website in an effective way.
That brings you up to speed on my web design story.
I love hearing stories of others and about the businesses they’re building. I’m a dreamer who is passionate about helping you create your website.
I’m looking forward to hearing your story!
