Start Your Project

Dev frustrations delaying your project launch?

Are you a web designer who's tired of wasting hours trying to figure out custom code, so your projects don't end up looking like just another cookie-cutter site?

Or maybe you’re at the point where you're ready to expand your business, but are stuck on the deliverables hamster-wheel and simply don’t have the time & bandwidth?

And let's be honest…site development can be a grind, and you'd much rather put your energy towards what what actually excites you, like designing the branding and site layouts for your dream clients.

Good news – you're exactly in the right place. Welcome to Aligned.

Hello! I’m Melissa, and I help innovative designers bridge the gap between their creative vision and the technical execution. Together, we can craft a truly unique digital home for you or your client, that both looks great and functions to convert, while still being a breeze to maintain after launch.

Ready to stop spinning your wheels and start outsourcing your development? Let's chat and see if we can get you back into alignment with your design business.

Hey there, I'm Melissa

Digital alchemist & Problem-Solving Pro

With over 6 years of front-end development experience, combined with a former life in merchandising & marketing, I bring a unique blend of creativity and analytical prowess to every project.

I specialize in crafting attention-grabbing, interactive sites with fun & flare (Animation? Hover features? Love ‘em). And have crafted high-impact digital experiences for noteworthy brands such as Sephora, Delta, NARS, Abercrombie, and IKEA; serving in markets across the globe from NYC to London to Sydney.

Currently based in Amsterdam (by way of Brooklyn), I work with clients all over the world cultivating one-of-a-kind digital experiences that function and convert as well as they look.
