Digital design is like painting, except the paint never dries.

Neville Brody

In A Nutshell

I build and maintain websites for farms, agricultural organizations, and businesses, creating online markets and tools that help improve farming and food production.

I design website mockups so clients can see how their site will look and work, and I use their feedback to make it better.

I test websites to keep them safe, secure, and easy to use for everyone involved in agriculture.
