A Little Bit About Me

           Hello! My name is Sarah and I’m a web developer from St. Catharines, Ontario. Graduating from the New Media Web Design program at Niagara College, I am well versed in multiple coding languages such as HTML, CSS, JS, and PHP as well as various aspects of design (ie. current trends, layouts, mobile first design…etc.). For the past 5 years, I have taken focus on developing custom WordPress themes for clients, integrating SEO practices into my development and creating user friendly interfaces. Through my time designing and working on projects I have learned how to be both an independent and collaborative worker in the field. My hope is that through my work I am able to transform a user’s idea into a well established web presence.

When I am not developing, you can find me playing video games, at the bowling alley, on the soccer field, or exploring the great outdoors with my trusted four legged companion. The odd time you might also find me capturing the beauty of nature through a lens or using my family and friends as models for my photography collection.
