As a web developer and digital designer, I contribute to many aspects of Amherst’s digital presence—from web design and content strategy to promotional graphics and more.  

Working with IT’s Web Services team, I specialize in CSS and UI/UX design. For departments, I provide a variety of web support, including assistance with visual design, content flow, usability, accessibility, and search engine optimization. Additionally, I build custom WordPress sites (see The Common and Hidden Drives). 

I also have a background in graphic design and illustration, and can create graphics for your department or project.  

Contact me with requests related to College websites, graphics of any kind, or Amherst’s Visual Identity Toolkit.
