Frontend Development,Accessibility,Drupal
Human-centered web development at the intersection of design, code, and accessibility. I partner with agencies and organizations to create digital experiences where inclusion is woven in from the first line of code, not bolted on as an afterthought.
You know accessibility matters, but your team tackles it at the end of a project when budgets are tight and timelines are gone. Retrofitting is always more expensive than getting it right from the start.
Your designers create beautiful, thoughtful work. But somewhere between the handoff and the browser, nuance disappears. The frontend doesn't quite feel like what was envisioned.
You've worked with developers who need constant direction, miss context, or deliver code that creates more problems than it solves. You need someone who can be trusted to think, not just execute.
Accessibility lawsuits have surged in recent years. Your clients are asking questions you're not sure how to answer. Automated tools catch only a fraction of real issues, and you need someone who understands the full picture.
I work with a limited number of agency partners so I can give each relationship the attention it deserves. Here's what that looks like in practice.
Inclusive development isn't an add-on or a checklist. It's integrated into every decision, from semantic markup to interaction patterns, so your projects serve all users with dignity.
A humanities background and an eye for design mean I see both the human and technical dimensions of every project. The gap between design and code gets smaller.
I hit deadlines without surprises. Clear communication, realistic timelines, and work that endures — maintainable patterns, clear documentation, and code your team can extend long after I'm gone.
I use modern tools, including AI, to work efficiently. But every decision and every line of code goes through experienced human judgment. Efficiency without shortcuts.
Every engagement starts with understanding your goals and your users. These services can stand alone or combine into a partnership tailored to how your team actually works.
Ongoing, retainer-based frontend development with deep Drupal expertise and skills that transfer across any modern stack. I embed with your team as a trusted partner: building interfaces, implementing design systems, crafting semantic markup, and ensuring accessibility throughout.
Ideal for agencies with ongoing client work who need a reliable, senior-level frontend developer without the overhead of a full-time hire.
Custom Drupal themes built on nearly two decades of experience with the platform. I work with the system's strengths to deliver responsive, accessible frontends that are clean to maintain and extend.
Best for teams already working in Drupal who need a frontend specialist who can contribute from day one.
Thorough WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance reviews that go far beyond what automated tools can catch. I provide prioritized, actionable recommendations with clear implementation guidance, and I can stay on to help your team fix what I find.
Agencies use this to reduce legal risk, meet client requirements, and differentiate their offerings in an increasingly accessibility-aware market.
Translating design systems into functional, accessible component libraries that your team can actually use. From Storybook setups to pattern documentation, I bridge the gap between what your designers envision and what ships in the browser.
Best for organizations building or refreshing a design system, or agencies that need consistent UI patterns implemented across multiple client projects.
Developer onboarding guides, component library documentation, style guides, and implementation references that help your team maintain and extend the work long after a project wraps. Good documentation reduces long-term costs and makes transitions smoother.
Often included as part of development work, but also available as a standalone service for teams inheriting or maintaining existing systems.
I've spent over 15 years learning how to make complex web projects succeed. That journey started in the humanities, which gave me a lens focused on people and meaning, and led through deep Drupal development into a specialization where design, code, and accessibility converge.
I believe that the human on the other end of every screen deserves a digital experience built with care. Accessibility isn't a compliance checkbox; it's about dignity and inclusion. That conviction shapes every line of code I write.
Currently pursuing IAAP Web Accessibility Specialist certification to formalize what I've practiced throughout my career. When I'm not building for the web, you'll likely find me reading, playing board games, or making art.
I work best with agencies and organizations who value quality, thoughtful implementation, and a human-centered approach. If that sounds like your team, I'd love to hear about what you're working on.
Tell me a bit about your project and I'll respond within a few business days. No pressure, no pitch. Just a conversation to see if there's a good fit.
