🌟 WordPress Themes 🌟

These are some of my favorite WordPress themes I've either made for my previous, now offline blogs, or simply for fun. I am a WordPress enthusiast due to its content management fluidity. This has led me to learn how to make WordPress themes while utilizing its gimmicks.

🌷 Visual & Interface Experimentation 🌷

Select projects that are now offline, designed for no specific content management system. Like everything else on my portfolio, these were all coded and designed from scratch. I love experimenting presenting different types of information in creative ways.

About

I'm a strong believer in making projects ✨personal✨ both for owners and audiences. I've been teaching myself code and webdesign for over 14 years, and continue to learn (both independently & otherwise) today. My experience with customer service combined with my enjoyment with code & design makes me eager to create digital media with and for clients.

I have a love for experimentation and trying things in different mediums, whether it includes video editing, audio editing, or both, in addition to websites and programs. I'm also a huge advocate for cross-media accessibility. I aspire to work on mobile apps!

In 2016, I spent most of the year traveling the world 🌏
