My Story.

I didn’t exactly take the straight path into tech. I started in the fashion industry working as a Stylist in London. It was fast-paced and full of flair but not exactly stable. So, I ditched the heels, grabbed a backpack, and set off to write my next chapter.

Globe-Trotting to Git-Committing

What was supposed to be a one-year adventure turned into six years of travel and unexpected discoveries. I ended up in New Zealand, working in project management, and somehow fell in love with spreadsheets. Yes, spreadsheets. That curiosity soon snowballed: formulas became functions, functions became code, and I found myself watching someone "break" Google on YouTube with developer tools. I was hooked.

Spreadsheets to Stylesheets

In 2023, I returned to the UK and completed the SheCodes Coding Bootcamp, launching my career as a full-time Web Developer. Today, I create responsive websites for public, private, and nonprofit clients, combining creativity with technical problem-solving and an obsessive attention to detail that keeps every project pixel-perfect.

Fashionably Functional

My background in styling continues to shape my work, helping me build sites that are visually polished while remaining accessible following WCAG 2.2 AA standards to ensure every website is inclusive, user-friendly, and crafted with care.
