Hi, I’m Melissa—a passionate web developer and designer with over two decades of experience. My programming journey began in 2002 after earning my Associate of Science from Pellissippi State Community College, and since then, I’ve had the privilege of working with agencies in Knoxville and Sevierville, as well as clients across the U.S. I thrive on building complex, custom websites that make brands stand out. With expertise in HTML5, PHP, WordPress, and the Adobe suite, I create visually stunning and highly functional online experiences. If you’re looking for a creative partner with a diverse portfolio and a commitment to quality, I’d love to help bring your vision to life.
