Frontend Philosophy

Design

My design approach begins with content, images and branding. I find the design process so much easier when I spend time on the messaging and branding before any code is written.

Develop

I love HTML, CSS and JavaScript. The development process is my favorite part of every project. At this point in my career, I think I can write CSS in my sleep, with both hands tied behind my back.

Deploy

Often overlooked, DevOps is an important skill to have. Best practices must include version control and deployment, and an understanding of how to see one's own work in the broswer.
