Caitlin is amazing to work with! I needed help on a large client website, and Caitlin came in halfway through the project and helped me take it across the finish line. Caitlin’s technical skills are top notch, and I’d be lucky to work with her again in the future.

From a design standpoint, it's hard to find designers who want to create your vision instead of their own. Caitlin was one of the few I've worked with that listened, made suggestions, and then delivered on what was asked.

I began life as an artist, drawing on everything. As a true millenial I became exposed to computer-supported art at a young age – designing pixel art in MS Paint and Paint Shop Pro by the age of 7 or 8.

As a homeschool kid I took my passion to the next level after joining a pixel-art community and wanting to showcase my work on my own website, I began learning html/css at the tender age of 10 and had a handful of ‘clients’ at 12 years old.
