Hi there!
I'm bryn (she/her), a creative developer passionate about creating accessible and beautiful front-end code, curating communities, and moving the needle forward in any environment I can.

about me

I'm passionate about the a11y community and using tech to bring people together. I love using my expertise on accessibility and beautiful design to improve the experience of the web for all users. I take the ego out of my work, bring positivity, and believe in leading by example through building my collaborators and teammates up together.

At the moment I'm located in Colorado, though I’m an avid traveler and have spent many moons doing the "digital nomad" thing. I also love motorcycles, yoga, and reading. If you’re nosy like me, or curious to hear more, take a peek at what I’m up to now.

A home for the up and coming motorcycle hub and historic space in the Five Points Neighborhood of Denver, Colorado. This was a full design and build for a coming soon page, as well a more layered commerce and scheduling platform, while helping this new local business find their brand and identity, without losing the fun and love of motorcycles.

My Epic App

2021 - 2023

A complete redesign and rebuild of Vail Ski Resort’s My Epic mobile app. In tandem with Vail’s infrastructure, we introduced a new and innovative way for skiers to interact with over 30+ ski resorts and manage their Epic pass. My primary focus was on developing the SVG map, including custom styling and animated interactions, as well the development of trails and lifts pages and data, and ensuring clean user experience throughout.

Vidanta World

2023

A new website for Vidanta World Resorts in Mexico. I was a part of the initial development team that built out all of the content models through Contentstack and developed the custom components their data would be piped into. These models were mapped to reusable pages so content managers could change the copy, images, and order of components with complete freedom, while keeping the integrity of the designs across the site.

Idea Builder

2019-2020

A platform for Merrill Lynch to help investors find stocks, ETFs, and Mutual Funds to invest in that align with their personal beliefs and value systems. I was a part of the team that developed this platform from initial design, creating a whole new design-system and component library. I was especially focused on the project meeting WCAG 2.1 AAA standards and building out charts and data visualizations.
