About

I am a full-stack developer and multimedia designer based in San Diego, CA

Having journeyed through the advertising and marketing landscape since the turn of the millennium, my diverse experience encompasses roles ranging from graphic design for both print and digital mediums to the intricate realm of web design and development.

What sets my design ethos apart is an inherent empathy for clients and their audiences. I’m a firm believer that impactful design goes beyond trends and aesthetics—it’s about creating approachable designs that resonate with the intended message.

My innate curiosity fuels my drive to devise elegant solutions for complex challenges. When I embark on web development projects, I prioritize user experience on par with seamless back-end functionality. I have collaborated with diverse clients over the years and I also find comfort in providing guidance and training to those seeking assistance.

At my core, I’m a WordPress virtuoso, specializing in tailor-made themes, blocks, and plugins. I’m also contributor to the WordPress open-source project whenever time allows. My journey in web development is not just a profession; it’s a continuous pursuit of refining and expanding my skill set to create impactful digital experiences.

Aside from work…

I find joy in cheering on my kids during their sports endeavors, contributing at their school as a volunteer, making creative lunches, sharing memes with my daughter in college, and warmly welcoming their friends into our home.

I am a regularly-booked musician, lending my talents in piano, guitar and singing. My musical taste spans an array of genres, from the whimsical realms of nerd rock to the soulful allure of Latin jazz, with a penchant for the nostalgic charms of old-school R&B/Hip Hop and the soulful vibes of Korean R&B.

I have a love/hate relationship with distance running—having conquered 5 half-marathons, and a handful of 5K and 10K races. My next chapter involves coaching Girls on the Run, an exciting venture that intertwines my enthusiasm for running with my dedication to empowering young minds and developing their life skills.

On a creative front, I am a craft and cooking blogger, collaborating with esteemed brands and sponsors. Cooking, for me, is more than an art; it’s my love language. The joy of preparing sumptuous feasts for a gathering of friends resonates deeply within me, enriching every occasion.
