What are your first memories of the Internet?
I was born in the 70's and grew up in the 80's and 90's so I feel I've had a unique front-row seat to the evolution of the internet. I grew up writing essays with my parents encyclopedias. When the internet came around, I was all in. From dial up to myspace to chat rooms!

10
Which Standout workshops do you find yourself incorporating most often on your website projects?
All of them :) I love the mega menu the most but testimonial sliders and carousels are great as well.
11
What makes your work standout?
I really focus on amalgamating my design sense with the clients' vision. I really want my client to love their website so I ensure I'm building to their unique requests. Although I have my own sense of design, I really listen to them and build around their design preference and vision as well. This creates quite an eclectic portfolio!
12
What are some of your proudest works you've worked on?
Stamp and HammerWebsite →I have many. But I looooove what I did with the Stamp & Hammer website. They really challenged me in building something out of the box and there have been many times I had to amalgamate a few CSS workshops or plugins. There are some key components inside this website that I had to build from scratch. Like the floating newsletter bar and the home page rotating banner with video, images with Kenburns effects. Tons of amazing, fun challenges on this site.
13
What are the biggest takeaways from the Standout programs?
I would need to credit standout for a lot of my design techniques, my successful business structure and my ability to get through touch sticky codes. I love building and this course focuses on those who want to step out of the box. I love coloring outside the lines :)
14
What is your dream website project?
I would love for someone to come to me and say 'I'll leave all the design and decision making to you!' Building a website without restriction or a cap on creativity has always been a dream.
