About Me
Hi, I'm Anna — a Front-End Developer from Ottawa, ON, Canada who builds polished web experiences and isn't afraid to push them further with AI. With 2+ years of experience in React, TypeScript, and various CMS platforms, I bridge the gap between creative design and maintainable code.
I believe a great product is seen in the details — from the first wireframe to the final deploy. My goal is simple: to build interfaces that aren't just beautiful, but are accessible, performant, and solve real-world challenges.
Let’s build something together ❤️

Have a project in mind? Let's talk
Design and build, in one pair of hands.
I work across design and front-end development, so a product can go from the first sketch to a shipped interface with one person owning the details. The same skills apply whether I'm embedded in a team or brought in for a single project.
End-to-end product design
Discovery, user flows and UI design carried through to a developer-ready handoff.
UX/UI design
Responsive interfaces, design systems and accessible layouts that hold up on every screen.
Frontend development
React, TypeScript and Tailwind, plus the API and CMS wiring to ship a feature end to end.
WordPress & Shopify development
Custom themes, storefronts and CMS setup your team can update without touching code.
