About
20+ Years WordPress Experience
Designing custom WordPress websites for small-medium business and non-profits since the early 2000s.
Form Meets Function
Blending aesthetics with performance: mobile-friendly, fast-loading sites with clean, modern design.
Clear, Concise Communication
Translating visions into websites—no tech jargon, just clear communication and great results.
By day, I lead a public sector IT Project Delivery division, where I steer teams, timelines, and strategic outcomes to help departments achieve their business goals. With deep-rooted experience in technology and leadership, I’ve earned a reputation for guiding complex initiatives to successful completion—ensuring the right people stay aligned, informed, and empowered every step of the way. It’s high-paced, high-stakes work that demands focus, foresight, and a readiness to get hands-on when it counts.
After hours, I pivot to WordPress design—a creative, calming counterbalance I’ve nurtured for over 20 years. I collaborate with individuals, small businesses, and nonprofits to craft clean, intuitive websites that align with their missions and identities. Whether launching a brand-new online presence or elevating an existing one, I find joy in the practical problem-solving, the aesthetic decisions, and most of all, the personal connections forged through each project.

FAQs
What kinds of websites do you specialize in?
I specialize in building clean, responsive WordPress websites for small-medium businesses, non-profits, and personal brands. Whether you need a portfolio, online shop, a blog, or a simple online presence, I create sites that are easy to manage and tailored to your goals.
How long does it take to complete a website?
Most websites take between 2–4 weeks, depending on the project scope and how quickly I receive content and feedback. I’ll give you a realistic timeline before we start—and keep you updated along the way.
Do you offer ongoing support after launch?
Yes! I offer flexible monthly maintenance plans that include updates, backups, minor edits, and security checks. Or if you prefer, I’m happy to assist on an as-needed basis.
Can I update the website myself once it’s live?
Absolutely. I build all sites with user-friendly tools like the intuitive Divi page-builder. I also provide a quick tutorial or documentation so you feel confident making your own edits.
What if something happens to you?
Great question—and something I’ve prepared for. I routinely store secure backups of your website (in multiple formats) and up-to-date admin credentials in the cloud. This means that, in the unlikely event I become unavailable, any qualified WordPress professional can seamlessly access your site and continue managing or updating it without disruption.
How much does a typical website cost?
Prices vary depending on what you need, but most standard projects range from $1,000 to $2,500 CAD. After a quick consultation, I’ll provide a specific quote without surprises.
Do you write the content or provide images?
I don’t write the copy, but I can guide you on best practices and even suggest professional copywriters if needed. I can also help source stock images or optimize the ones you have.
What if I need to refresh existing website?
That’s totally doable! I’ll review your current site, discuss what’s working (and what’s not), and put together a plan to modernize the look, improve functionality, and boost performance.
Why should I choose a solo designer?
With me, you get personal attention from start to finish—no hand-offs, no middlemen. I’m invested in every project I take on, and I treat each site like it’s my own.
Do you require a deposit to get started?
No deposit is required—I like to keep things simple and built on trust. We’ll go through the design process together, and once you’re happy with the final website and ready to launch, the full payment is due. Everything’s outlined clearly up front, so you know exactly what to expect from day one.
