About Me

I'm a designer and developer who builds thoughtful, high-impact websites—without the ongoing fees that come with platforms like Shopify or WordPress.

My Story

As a small business owner, I became frustrated with the constant monthly fees just to keep a website online—hosting platforms, plugins, themes, and other tools that quickly added up. That experience is what drove me to take web development courses at Northwestern, so I could build better solutions for myself and for others.

Now, I specialize in custom websites with personal backends that give business owners full control—no subscriptions, no platform lock-in. My websites are built to function independently, with a one-time setup fee and optional support only when needed.

I work with Google Workspace and can integrate tools like Google Forms, Sheets, and Gmail using custom Google Scripts and APIs. This allows you to automate tasks, streamline operations, and simplify communication—all without expensive third-party software.

What I Do

  • Custom Website Design & Development (no platform fees)
  • Google Workspace & API Integrations
  • E-Commerce Solutions (without Shopify)
  • Performance Optimization
  • SEO & Accessibility
  • Branding, Social Setup & Client Training
  • Ongoing Support (Only When You Need It)

My Philosophy

My goal is to make owning a website simple, cost-effective, and empowering. Most clients only need to budget for:

  • A domain name (typically billed yearly)
  • A Google Workspace account (monthly or annual plan)
  • And possibly a special plugin or third-party tool, if needed for advanced features

Whenever possible, I code custom solutions to avoid these extra costs altogether. I understand the first build can be an investment—but once it's live, I want you to own it outright, without having to pay for it over and over again.

I'm here to set your business up for success online, through strategy, clean design, and smart systems. And if you ever want support, training, or an update down the road—I've got your back.
