About me
Let's get to know each other. Here are some of my passions, interests, and ambitions.
Hi there! I'm Ellie ✨
I'm a Web Designer with a strong love for all things internet and a deep belief that it should be for everyone — in other words, accessible and enjoyable for everyone. I discovered my passion for web design in an unexpected way, and now it's my whole world.
Today, I focus on creating useful, organic, and accessible digital experiences. I have hands-on knowledge of WCAG guidelines and experience performing accessibility testing to ensure inclusive interfaces for all users. CSS is my playground! Of course, after building solid, semantic markup, I love experimenting with new techniques and learning better ways to bring interfaces to life.
When I'm not coding💻, I'm writing📝, walking my dogs🐕, drinking coffee☕, or looking🔭 for inspiration!
