Tools

As a designer and web developer, I use a variety of traditional and digital tools to bring my ideas to life. I sketch concepts with pencils and sketchbooks, and refine them with a graphic tablet. For digital design, I use Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, XD, and Sketch to create vector and raster graphics, wireframes, and mockups. As a web developer, I have a strong foundation in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and I also use popular libraries like jQuery to streamline development. For more complex projects, I turn to powerful frameworks like React and Vue.js, and I leverage Gatsby and GraphQL to optimize website performance. With my expertise in WordPress, I can create custom themes and plugins that add functionality and style to any website. Finally, I use Git to manage code and ensure seamless collaboration with my team
