About

Former Librarian

I have a Masters degree in Information Science and worked as a librarian for over 3 years. Read any good books lately?

Web Developer

I code websites using HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, WordPress and love. Need some work done?

Mentor

I volunteer with Kids Learning Code and Girls Learning Code. It's important to prepare kids to be smarter than you one day.

Hi there, I'm Vanessa! I design websites that combine good design and functionality, qualities users appreciate. My work benefits from my understanding of how people consume information. Heck, I have a degree in that stuff! Whether you need to revamp your current site or have no web presence at all, I can lend a hand. Is your company hiring developers? Call me, maybe?

Work

All Breeds Canine Rescue

After adopting my rescue dog, I was inspired to create a fabulous new site for the organization she came from. I included a JavaScript flexslider to feature (fictional) adoptable animals and made the site fully responsive. This was my final project for HackerYou's part time course.

Polaroid Photo Gallery

I created this Polaroid inspired photo gallery using CSS transitions and transforms. The images are my mom's recent photography.

Colour Archive

A friend commissioned me to make a site for her architectural rendering company. We decided on a monochromatic palette with a touch of colour on hovered items. This was achieved with jQuery and inspiration from Pantone's Color of the Year.
