Brand-Focused Full-Stack Web Developer

I’m Dexter, a brand designer and web developer by trade, though I like to think of myself as a bit of a unicorn.

Coming up as a traditional graphic designer, I learned both front-end and back-end development out of a desire to own web projects from idea to production. And also from the slightly misguided idea that, to be marketable, I needed to “do it all.”

Fast-forward a few years, and I’ve worked across nearly every layer of the web, with some application development thrown in for good measure. I don’t see design and development as separate disciplines. I care just as much about what a brand communicates as I do about how users interact with its digital platforms, and I want both to feel inseparable.

Outside of web and design, I’m dad of two, a musician (keys and drums), a former professional long jumper, and a youth track coach.

Most days, I’m building sh** while staring at four computer screens. The rest of the time, I’m probably working out, building tiny imaginary cities, or coaching the next generation of athletes.
