Front End Developer / Drupal Developer
Hi, I'm Cait.
I build for the web.
I craft fast, accessible, and thoughtfully designed interfaces - where every detail is intentional and every interaction feels right.
About me
Designed to last
Designed to last
built to ship.
I'm a Front-End Developer whose instincts were shaped by years as a Senior Graphic Designer - I learned colour theory, typography, and visual hierarchy long before I wrote my first line of code. That foundation isn't a footnote; it's in every decision I make.
Most developers think in components. I think in brand systems, type hierarchies, and visual weight first - then I build them. The result is interfaces that don't just function cleanly, but feel considered. Polished. Intentional.
I work across the full front-end stack - HTML, CSS, and JavaScript - and have deep hands-on experience building and managing large-scale sites in both Drupal and WordPress. I understand how design decisions survive (or don't) the journey from Figma to a real CMS, and I build accordingly.

Coming soon

What I bring
Craft & Code
Design
I think visually before I think technically. Years in Graphic Design means typography, hierarchy, colour, and brand aren't things I learned alongside code - they came first. That foundation shows in everything I build.

Build
Accessible, semantic, and maintainable isn't a bonus - it's the baseline. I build with real users in mind, whether it's a component for a Drupal platform or a personal project practising modern front-end patterns.

The best developers I know stay honest about where they're growing. I'm actively building towards React and modern JavaScript tooling through my BSc and personal projects.
