Hi, I'm Rebecca— a front-end web developer based in Dallas, Texas. My background is in the arts; I earned a BFA in Photography from Savannah College of Art and Design and spent several years as a freelance photographer before discovering my passion for web development. Now, I focus on crafting well-designed, accessible websites that prioritize thoughtful, user-centered experiences. Take a look at my work in the projects section!

2022 — Present
UX Technologist — Frontier Communications

As a UX Technologist, I bridge the gap between design and development, bringing user-centered concepts to life through code and technical expertise. I translate UX designs into seamless, interactive, and accessible digital experiences. My work includes building web pages and animations, interactive prototypes for design explorations and user testing, and ensuring accessibility compliance. I collaborate closely with designers in creating a component library in Storybook.js, ensuring final web pages are aligned with Figma designs. In addition, I code landing pages in Marketo and Sales Force and help conduct A/B tests in Adobe Target.

2017 — 2022
Senior Web Developer — TNT Dental

I developed hundreds of responsive websites and built code repositories with site templates to streamline development. I provided regular site updates, technical support, ran speed tests to optimize performance, and implemented improvements for ADA accessibility. I also developed custom WordPress themes and trained junior web developer staff.

2004 — 2022
Photographer & Web Developer — Thaden Design

I designed and developed portfolio websites and helped create cohesive branding through custom logos, promotional materials, and visual identities. In addition to web design, I provided photography services, capturing portraits both on location and in the studio, as well as product and architectural photography to enhance each brand's presence.
