Overview
In addition to assuring that all my sites are worry-free for the technophobe, I also insist on all my sites being responsive. That means that not only will they look amazing on your computer, but they adjust to any size, shrinking even to work well on your phone.
Through my work in the Office for Equity and Diversity at the University of Utah, I have developed a critical lens for my design, creating pieces that are both inclusive and sensitive.

Work experience
University of Utah
I worked for several years in the Office for Equity and Diversity at the University of Utah. As their lead web and graphic designer, I managed several websites and created marketing materials for our programs and events. Working in this arena helped me develop a socially critical lens which I employ in everything I create.
Self-employed
In the decade that I have been freelancing, I've had the opportunity to create a variety of websites, which has allowed me to hone my skills while learning how to customize the product to suit the genre and the clients' unique needs. I also understand that not everyone is tech-friendly, so I do what I can to make every website easy to navigate and maintain for the long run.

• Contact form that emails the client
• Coded Wordpress Customizer to manage the custom design areas.
• The organizations are managed through a custom post type, so that every time the client visits a new one she can add it to the site without having to manually change the information on the various pages that it is seen on.
