Web Designer & Developer
My goal is to provide various methods for everyday entrepreneurs to bring their ideas to life, and to market those ideas. Today, there are many websites that can put your information into one of their templates, but they can be confusing and hard to customize. If you'd like a more personalized experience, someone who can capture your true identity, then you need a web designer!
My favourite things on this planet are food, sports, nature, technology, and music! Without even a single item from the list, my life simply wouldn't feel complete. I'm also extremely passionate about photography, gaming, reading, and writing. If you ever get the opportunity to meet me, make sure I have the time to make you some Scottchos! Trust me, they're something you won't soon forget!
I hope that one day I will build a business that provides a better work environment for as many people as possible. I've met so many amazing people along my journey who have given me tremendous amounts of inspiration. With their help, and all that's yet to come, I know we will make something great! I love the country I live in and the opportunities it has given me, and I dedicate myself to giving back.
A personal website designed for MC Rolston, an author in Victoria, BC. This project was a site redesign and was rebuilt using WordPress with a new theme to modernize the site while making it more interactive and visual.
MC RolstonA website built to display information about Odette Laroche's art gallery in Sidney, BC. This project was a site redesign where we transitioned from a free Weebly site to a customized paid WordPress theme.
Odette Laroche ArtYSP is located in Victoria, BC, and offers video services to parents looking to capture the golden moments with professional quality and editing.
Youth Sports ProductionMan Wah Aluminum is located in Vancouver, BC, and offers siding, fencing, roofing and more in aluminum and various other materials.
Man Wah AluminumAn extensive collection of information to help refine and perfect your skills in Super Smash Bros Ultimate. Satisfy your Smash Bros appetite! This is a personal site and was built from scratch with pure HTML5 & CSS3, with a plan to transition the site to React.
All Things SmashA custom-coded boilerplate that I built in order to play around with CSS. I built it with PHP, but structured it as though it was a REACT app with components. These components work as individual sections that can be reused and tweaked with ease.
Boiling PlateI build my projects using pure HTML5, CSS3, and some Javascript when needed. This method helps keep me current with the latest trends since I constantly need to go back to refresh my code any time major changes are released (ex. Floats to Flexbox). I prefer to work with WordPress for my clients, which I feel has the most pros to cons from the major CMS offerings. I also have experience with Weebly and Wix, but I'm currently hesitant to recommend Weebly. My preferred hosting is Dreamhost, as they've provided me years of excellent service.
While the technological takeover is in full effect, traditional branding materials are still important for any business. Have you ever been caught talking about your product/services, but you didn't have a business card to give them after? Trust me... it's not a good look. I offer an all-in-one option that includes the design, the printing (done locally in Victoria), and the delivery of the materials. Alternatively, you can buy the design exclusively, provided in the required format, leaving you the freedom to have them printed through your preferred option. All of the designs created using Adobe CC apps.
My love for technology, combined with my passion for learning and teaching, has proven to be the perfect fit for helping my clients to gain a better understanding of how things work. Whether it be setting up new products, navigating through the software, setting up spreadsheets, gathering data, or a deeper understanding of the processes at work, I offer personalized lessons for those in need! Our dependence on technology can either be a boon a burden. What will you choose? How long are you willing to wait?

Social Media
Social Media Management is becoming more cumbersome by the day, and the desire for greater quality is beginning to grow. It's also one of the best ways to reach an audience, and shouldn't be taken lightly. Through the process of getting to know a client and building their website, I gain information along the way that is useful to tailoring personalized marketing content. From my experience, this has led wonderfully into managing social media accounts after a site build is completed, all while adding consistency to the feel of the brand. It also provides more time to focus elsewhere!
