A bit more background
I live in the city of Redlands, California; a hidden gem of the map about half-way between Los Angeles and Palm Springs; with my husband of 5 years, and our chihuahua. Outside of work, I really love reading science fiction and fantasy novels, gardening, playing video games with friends, and watching any type of tech-related Youtube videos. Personality-type systems are incredibly fascinating to me, and I am a bit invested in a few of them. Within the Myer-Briggs' type system, I am what is considered to be an I.N.T.P.

Throughout my childhood, I've always had a gravitation toward artistic outlets. I thought I would end up being an artist of some kind for a long time, but it wasn't until I realized how my personality tends to behave on a more logical basis that I found my calling in front-end web development. I am fascinated with organizing workflow and specializing in utilities that improve user experience and artistic expression. The discovery led me through my bachelor's degree in Graphic Information Technology from Arizona State University and into a freelance business.
