What you get: - Expert-backed software engineering processes that bring your vision to life - College-trained Claude (I uploaded my class lectures and assignments onto my AI so you know the agent work is solid) - 5 years' web development experience in academic and freelance settings I follow a five phase process that gets your website from zero to one: Step 1) Discovery phase. Talk about your goals and how my development skills can serve your business needs. Step 2) Requirements phase. I draft an outline that specifies functional and non-functional requirements. Step 3) Design phase. Create medium-fidelity wireframes that will serve as the basis for the rest of the project. Step 4) Development phase. Develop the website using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Although I do work with CMS tools like Wordpress, I find that I deliver my highest quality work its written in code. Step 5) Deployment phase. You buy the domain. I configure the code to its DNS.

Contract with me to fix your broken UX! I specialize in resuscitating failing user flows, especially for IOT and other complex processes. for the last 5 years I've been focused on energy market-specific dashboards, so I also bring that industry experience. 15 years designing UI/UX has instilled in me a deep understanding of multiple platforms, languages, and methodologies. iOS, Android, web, CS, HTML/CSS/JS, qGIS, Mapbox, Ruby, Agile, Axure, Balsamiq, the list goes on. My passion for mapping and illustration only enhances what I can offer to your project.

Heya, I’m Blayne. I’m in the business of making things look nice and work well. It’s always bummed me out to see poorly designed things that don’t function as well as they could. That’s why I studied design (at the University of Cincinnati’s School of Design, Art, Architecture and Planning), and why I work a day job designing clothes to fit and move better (“tech design” in fashion parlance). It’s also what got me excited about designing websites. It’s my passion to learn my clients’ stories, and then fuse custom code and (digital) fashion sense to tell those stories in the best way possible—a way that pleases visitors eyes, but doesn’t leave them wanting to break their mouse. So get in touch, and let me build you something that’s useful and beautiful.
