Hi!
I'm Elle,
a North Sea coast transplant living in Berlin, Germany.
I build things for the web.

As a bi-lingual Frontend Engineer with a growing passion for Full-Stack development, I take great pleasure in merging my previous experience of 26 years as a digital media designer print with my now digital one.

First fiddling around with HTML and CSS wayyyyyy back in the days while trying to customize my Myspace page (do you remember MySpace Tom?!), I am hooked ever since. Up until today, throwing something I've built in a browser sometimes still seems like magic to me.

In the past I've worked with stakeholders of all backgrounds, for example the German government, a traditional business that has been founded in 1891, a huge German online retailer, and contributed in helping to identify customer pain points and to build impactful digital solutions.

Lately, I had the privilege to pursue a dream of mine and to work on several Full-Stack projects. As a proud alumni of CareerFoundry's Full-Stack Web Development Program I acquired a vast amount of additional knowledge in JavaScript, React.js, Node.js, Express.js, MongoDB, ... and a lot more!
Please find some of the projects down below in the Projects section.

Being a career-changer late in life who has a deep curiosity in her DNA, I love learning and to find out how things work. So in my spare time I for example do things like a Figma course on Udemy, to efficiently redesign my very first portfolio site. My portfolio site is now relaunched with Statamic CMS, resulting in the page you are currently visiting. Statamic, PHP and a11y are on my list to get deeper into next.

When I'm not at the computer, I'm usually hanging out with my husband and our very senior cats Peaches and Simon, strolling around in a museum or gallery, getting my socks rocked of at a concert or maybe even running one of the amazing races we have in Berlin.
