I build things for the web.
I’m a software engineer specializing in building (and occasionally
designing) exceptional digital experiences. Currently, I’m focused on
building accessible, human-centered products at Nvisio Solutions Limited.
About Me
Hello! My name is Brittany and I enjoy creating things that live on the internet. My interest in web development started back in 2012 when I decided to try editing custom Tumblr themes — turns out hacking together a custom reblog button taught me a lot about HTML & CSS!
Fast-forward to today, and I’ve had the privilege of working at an advertising agency, a start-up, a huge corporation, and a student-led design studio. My main focus these days is building accessible, inclusive products and digital experiences at Upstatement for a variety of clients.
I also recently launched a course that covers everything you need to build a web app with the Spotify API using Node & React.
Here are a few technologies I’ve been working with recently:
