Hi, I'm Kirsten
Software Engineer & Creative Technologist
I'm a software engineer with a focus on front-end web development and user experience. I have a background in design, and I've been building things on the internet for over 10 years. I love the web because it's so easy for anyone to make something and share it online; I'm always excited to see what extraordinary, beautiful, weird things people are making!
I live and work in the DC area, making websites and software for the internet. In my free time, you can often find me bouldering at the local climbing gym, sampling craft beers, or workin' on my night cheese.
What I Do
I bridge the gap between designers and developers. I ask a lot of questions, so that I can build the right solutions to the right problems. I put the user first. I strive to make everything I build inclusive and accessible, because the internet is for everybody.
Black Lives Matter. I'm proud to be part of Creatives for Black Lives - if you are a Black business owner or do work to support Black communities, I'd love to hear from you! Please contact me about pro bono web services.
