About Me

I'm Web Designer/Developer from Connecticut.

I started building websites when I was twelve years old. My first websites were fan sites for Sailor Moon and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The Buffy fan site became so popular that I was invited to speak on the topic of fan site designing at Arisia Science Fiction and Fantasy convention in Boston, MA at the age of 16.


I loved designing and developing websites so much that it is still my passion to this day! I'm always refreshing my skills and staying up on the latest trends and the best development tools and technology.


When I am not working, I have amazing friends and family that I love to hang out with and my two cats. I love animals and doing what I can to help animal shelters in the area by fund raising and volunteering.


I love to read and I run a book blog called Read Sweet Things. I love promoting it on social media and meeting other book bloggers and vloggers.

Sarah was responsible for designing online ads for our customers that were eyecatching and would activate readers to click on them in order to go to the customers website to learn more about the business. She would do this with limited information from the sales team who had worked directly with the client, but always managed to capture just the right look and message. There was an approximate 80% conversion of spec ads to sold ads that she created for me. She was professional, diligent, creative and a pleasure to work with.
