I am a web developer, designer, brand strategist, and data enthusiast.
Thanks for coming.
I am passionate about solving puzzles and tackling new challenges.
Right now, that is taking shape by:
Here are a couple of projects I've worked on. I worked at a gender research startup to build an app to help achieve better outcomes for women internationally, I have played around with climbing data from Mountain Project by adding some fun features to better search for routes, I have helped several small businesses and nonprofit organizations communicate their missions impactfully on the web, and am trying to save my houseplants from myself.

At Equilo, I have collected data from global APIs, improved data visualization using Chart.js, built a heatmap using Google Geocharts, designed and created a new data product within our Vue.js framework, and built new API routes to improve data loading efficiency using Express and Node.js.
I built a simple web app that allows users to filter climbing routes by the route's style using key words sourced from the route's description.
After 18 months of dragging her feet and working with a web designer who couldn't bring her site to the finish line, Jennifer hired me to redesign her Wix site and launch it.
Due to my lack of a green thumb, I was inspired to create a mobile app that guides users in the care of their house plants, both by providing information about water and sunlight for their leafy friends and by reminding users when it's time to water. This project is in development.
"Exceeding all expectations, Emily redesigned our home page and created a new 40th Anniversary page for our website. She contributed great ideas on how to improve the functionality of our website to make it easier to navigate as well as more visually appealing. Her additions/improvements to the site created a new and compelling way for us to share our organization’s history and mission. Through the process of multiple plugin and theme upgrades, Emily coordinated with the appropriate team members to ensure smooth and safe upgrades, all while meeting deadlines. With her strong communication skills, she asked all the right questions and explained things in a way that someone who is not tech-savvy could easily understand. Emily is a most skilled and creative web developer and I can’t say enough about how much I enjoyed working with her on this project."

"Emily thoughtfully and masterfully translated my business and my personality into a website with a beautiful color palate, a functionality that's easy to navigate and update, and a design that will carry me forward in my growing business. With just a few questions to answer and copy to write, I was able to convey my needs and she delivered a website that will serve my needs for years to come."
