Senior Web Designer, BentoBox

As a Senior Web Designer at BentoBox, I specialize in creating award-winning websites for restaurants, ranging from local eateries to high-end hospitality clients. I manage multiple projects simultaneously, pushing the boundaries of our platform with expert-level CSS/HTML knowledge to deliver innovative and user-focused designs.

About

I am a North Carolina-based multidisciplinary designer with a passion for creating innovative web solutions, crafting seamless UI/UX designs, and building brands that make a lasting impact. Over the years, I’ve collaborated with diverse industries—including nonprofits and tech startups—leading teams and delivering award-winning websites, particularly for restaurants ranging from neighborhood favorites to high-end hospitality brands.

As the founder and owner of Beyond Belief Studio, a successful screen printing business, I’ve cultivated entrepreneurial expertise while managing all aspects of operations and providing creative solutions to a variety of clients. My advanced proficiency in CSS and HTML allows me to push the boundaries of web design, delivering user-focused and visually striking digital experiences.

I’m deeply committed to fostering collaboration, mentoring others, and driving innovation within the design process. When I’m not designing, I enjoy spending time with my family, running, playing hockey, and diving headfirst into new hobbies.
