I'm a UI/UX Designer with 6+ years of experience creating modern digital products, SaaS platforms, responsive websites, and mobile applications that feel intuitive, thoughtful, and easy to use. My work is centered around clarity, usability, and creating experiences that feel natural for real people. I enjoy designing interfaces that not only look polished visually, but also guide users smoothly through a product in a way that feels simple, organized, and approachable. Over the years, Iโ€™ve worked on SaaS dashboards, internal business platforms, responsive websites, landing pages, and mobile experiences across a variety of industries. A large part of my work involves taking complex ideas or workflows and shaping them into interfaces that feel cleaner, lighter, and easier to understand. I pay close attention to layout structure, spacing, typography, interaction flow, responsiveness, and the small details that influence how people experience a product. I believe good design should create clarity and confidence without feeling overly complicated. Using tools like and, I create wireframes, high-fidelity UI designs, prototypes, responsive layouts, and scalable design systems that support both user experience and business goals. Iโ€™m comfortable working closely with developers, product teams, and clients throughout the design process to make sure ideas translate smoothly from concept to implementation. My experience includes projects across SaaS, marketing, nonprofit, education, and product-focused environments where usability, accessibility, and communication all matter equally. I enjoy working on products that need thoughtful structure, modern visual direction, and long-term consistency as the platform continues to grow. Some of the areas I specialize in include: โ€ข UI/UX Design for Web & Mobile Applications โ€ข SaaS Product & Dashboard Design โ€ข Responsive Website Design โ€ข Design Systems & Component Libraries โ€ข Wireframing & User Flow Planning โ€ข Interactive Prototyping in Figma โ€ข Webflow Website Design โ€ข Landing Pages & Conversion-Focused Interfaces โ€ข Mobile App UI Design โ€ข User-Centered Product Experiences I care deeply about creating design experiences that feel clear, calm and purposeful. I value open communication, reliability and thoughtful collaboration and I approach each project with attention to detail, adaptability and a genuine investment in creating meaningful work.

Most websites donโ€™t fail because of design, they fail because theyโ€™re unclear, outdated, or hard to navigate. I specialize in website redesign and UI/UX design, turning underperforming websites into clear, modern experiences that guide users and drive action. Most teams I work with donโ€™t have a bad business, they have a website that doesnโ€™t reflect it. It creates friction, confusion, and missed opportunities. Thatโ€™s where I come in. I redesign and develop websites using WordPress, Elementor, Webflow, and Wix, combining strong visual direction with thoughtful UX structure and scalable systems. My work sits at the intersection of design and development, allowing me to improve not just how a site looks, but how it functions, communicates, and evolves over time. Whether itโ€™s simplifying user flows, restructuring content, or building flexible CMS systems, the goal is always the same: Create an experience that feels intuitive, intentional, and built to convert. Core focus: website redesign, UI/UX design, landing page design, and WordPress/Elementor development. Typical projects include: โ€“ Website redesigns for outdated or underperforming sites โ€“ UX/UI improvements to improve clarity and engagement โ€“ Custom WordPress & CMS builds for scalable content management โ€“ Conversion-focused landing pages I often work with professional service teams, real estate businesses, and growing brands looking to modernize their digital presence. I also offer quick website audits to identify whatโ€™s not working and how to improve it. If your current website feels like itโ€™s holding you back, Iโ€™m happy to take a look and share how Iโ€™d approach improving it.

Youโ€™ll get an effective WordPress website designed and built to grow your business - by giving your visitors what they need while keeping your business goals front and center. Whether you want to increase conversions, drive sales, generate leads, or build trust and authority, Iโ€™ll get you there with a website that works. I have 20 years of experience in web design and development (15+ specializing in WordPress), and Iโ€™ve spent much of that time helping entrepreneurs not just build websites, but also run and grow their online businesses. I offer more than just websites; I provide end-to-end solutions for running and growing an online business. From designing high-converting websites to setting up CRMs, email automation, payment systems, and marketing funnels, I bring together the design, tech, and strategy needed to make your business run smoothly. Thereโ€™s a strategy behind every custom website I design. I donโ€™t just design websites that look good; I design with purpose: to serve your visitors, support your goals, and deliver measurable business value. I base my website designs on proven, research-backed user experience (UX/UI) guidelines. With 20 years of design experience, I also draw from real-world user studies, including usability testing, eye tracking, and field and diary research. This means your website wonโ€™t just look great; it will be effective: delivering a great user experience, guiding visitors with ease, and driving conversions by making it simple for them to take action with confidence. I understand more than just the design side - I also know the technology and business side. Iโ€™ve helped entrepreneurs run their online businesses (including my own), so I understand how sales, marketing, and customer behavior all fit together. That big-picture perspective (knowing how everything works both on its own and as part of a larger system) helps me create high-performing websites for my clients. ------------------- ABOUT: โ€ข I am available 7 days a week by phone, email, Slack, or your preferred method of communication. โ€ข I work full-time as a self-employed website designer and consultant from my home office in Minneapolis, MN. โ€ข Iโ€™m easy to work and communicate with.
