About me

Hello! I'm Jen, a front-end dev with a passion for clean and intuitive UI. One of the most rewarding parts of creating front-end web apps is witnessing an idea become a tangible reality. Drawing from my experience in art gallery and music video production, I am well-versed in the design/build production cycle. I'm eager to transition my background in creative projects to the digital space and tackle myriad interesting problems.

Beyond work, I find joy in biking and exploring local trail routes. I love learning languages and life drawing.
