My name is Vanessa and I am a graphic designer specializing in web design and front-end development. At the center of my design and development work is the goal to create work that is both functional, and creative, and exceeds client expectations.

This site shows both client and self-initiated work and is itself one of my web projects. This site this uses parts from the bootstrap framework, as well as added Javascript and some server functions.

Take a look at my work!
