I contribute to both the aesthetic and functional aspects of a digital product, bridging the gap between design and development.
Mastering Design + Development
I possess both creative and technical skills, allowing me to handle the entire process of designing and developing digital products. My role typically involves:
Frontend Design
Creating the visual and interactive elements of a website or app, such as layout, typography, color schemes, and user interfaces (UI).
Frontend Development
Coding the visual designs using web technologies like HTML, CSS, and PHP to build responsive and functional websites or applications.
User Experience (UX)
Designing the overall user flow and experience, ensuring usability and accessibility.
Backend Awareness
Strong understanding of databases, APIs, and server-side technologies, allowing me to work closely with backend developers, contribute to system architecture discussions, and optimize integration between frontend and backend components.
I’m a part of the BizBudding team that designed and developed the Mai Theme framework
I create the look, layout, and features of a website. I understand both graphic design and computer programming to communicate ideas that establish brand identity systems. I develop the overall layout and production design for websites, advertisements, and corporate reports on both internal and client-based projects.
Mai Theme provides a powerful, flexible, customizable foundation based upon WordPress and Gutenberg that delivers the features and options clients need.
