About Me
Hi, I'm Cooper. I'm a web designer and developer living in beautiful Portland, Oregon. I have over 6 years of hands-on experience working as a frontend and backend developer, UX/UI designer, and project manager on enterprise level applications for higher education institutions. I'm a jack of all trades who loves learning new things and strives to bridge the gap between technical and non-technical resources in an operation. Outside of work, I'm a versatile creative spirit, doubling as a multimedia designer, artist, and musician. I'm also a certified Arduino nerd with a love for tinkering.

My Philosophy
Bridging the Gap
As a developer and designer, I thrive on taking on and solving complex problems through innovation and creative problem solving. With a deep understanding of both technical aspects and client needs, I excel at bridging the gap between technical and non-technical resources. This means both understanding diverse requirements and delivering tangible results. Whether it's coding complex functionalities, creating intuitive user interfaces, or collaborating with clients and stakeholders, my ability to combine technical expertise with clear communication makes me a powerhouse when it comes to getting things done.
Ethical Design
I am guided by the principle that every pixel and interaction carries a profound responsibility. I believe that a good developer doesn't just write good code, but considers the impact and outcomes of the things that they create. My goal is to always emphasize inclusivity, accessibility, and user empowerment in everything I create. I advocate for user-centric design that prioritizes clarity and simplicity, and I strive to create digital spaces that enrich and uplift users while minimizing harm.
User Experience that Drives Outcomes
At the heart of every successful website lies an exceptional user experience. I firmly believe that great design should be rooted in a deep understanding of human behavior, including the target audience, their needs, and their expectations. I design with purpose, crafting interfaces that guide users through content and drive them towards meaningful actions.
