Introduction
I am a highly motivated Senior Web Producer with over 15 years of experience. I am deeply passionate about creating digital experiences that work wonderfully for everyone. While I have a full-spectrum background in web production— from initial design and development to high-volume support—I specialize in website accessibility. My goal is to ensure that online content is intuitive and inclusive for all individuals.
Currently, I operate as an independent consultant, bridging the gap between high-level agency production and the personalized needs of smaller organizations. I combine a solid grasp of ADA & WCAG 2.1 guidelines with technical proficiency in WordPress, Drupal, and the fundamental building blocks of the web: HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
Core Services & Specialized Expertise
Beyond standard web development, I offer a specialized suite of services designed for long-term digital health and compliance:
- Full-Cycle Web Production: I manage the entire project lifecycle, from initial strategy and domain acquisition to responsive, mobile-first design and final launch.
- Accessibility Auditing & Remediation: I utilize professional testing suites—including Lighthouse, ANDI, Voiceover, and JAWS—to identify and resolve WCAG 2.1 compliance barriers.
- Strategic CMS Management: I specialize in building user-friendly environments in WordPress and Drupal, ensuring sites are easy for clients to maintain while remaining technically sound.
- Proactive Technical Maintenance: I provide ongoing security updates, asset optimization, and performance monitoring to ensure sites load fast and remain secure.
- Client Enablement & Training: I have delivered over 300 workshops designed to empower non-technical stakeholders to manage their digital presence with confidence.
- Digital Ecosystem Strategy: My work includes SEO best practices, Google AdWords setup, and social media channel management to drive engagement.
