About
I’ve been building websites and running businesses since 2010.
Along the way I’ve started a few businesses of my own, most recently Worlds End Books, an online comic book store I built and run myself. So when a client says they need something that’ll increase conversions, or worries about how well their site is holding up, I’m nodding along because I’ve been there too.
I care about craft and accessibility. What I build needs to work for the people who actually use it, not just under ideal conditions.
