I joined a brand-new engineering team to help launch Powell’s new e-commerce site. It’s been a fast-paced, intense and rewarding experience working on such a big project. Along the way, I pushed for better responsive design, a smoother user experience, and cleaner frontend practices, like integrating Storybook and Tailwind.

I took a personal sabbatical to focus on both personal and professional growth, and to level up as a developer. During that time, I built a full stack interview prep app using the OpenAI API, started dreaming up my color scheme app, and picked up several new technical skills.

At Olio, I worked on a mix of web and mobile projects, including two React Native apps, a solar panel installation quote app, and a carbon reduction platform. I worked on different small teams, built clean UIs using atomic and technical design, and tackled complex forms. I also worked directly with clients to test, squash bugs, and keep things running smoothly.

I co-founded an event venue in 2014 and discovered my love for design while creating ads, managing the website and social media. That experience sparked an ongoing interest in visual storytelling and branding, and I’ve continued doing graphic design work for various companies throughout the years.
