About
Hello,
I'm Danielle
A WEB DEVELOPER WHO DESIGNS AND BUILDS WITH SIMPLICITY AND PURPOSE
I first discovered web development in 2021 through a bootcamp ad. Though I knew nothing about coding at the time, I was instantly drawn in and soon immersed myself in the world of front-end development and UX/UI design. I went on to earn certificates in Front-End Web Development (SheCodes) and UX Design (Coursera), and later completed Zero to Mastery’s full-stack development course on Udemy to deepen my understanding of JavaScript and back-end fundamentals. Soon after, I gained hands-on experience as a web development intern at Push10, a design agency.
Today, I’m a web developer at LMU Loyola Law School, where I help faculty, staff, and students strengthen their online presence — everything from maintenance and troubleshooting to building new sites and features in Drupal, WordPress, and TerminalFour. In this role, I've also earned a ScrumMaster certification to improve team workflows, sprint planning, and project management.

Projects
Development
Amberton University
Push10
As one of my final major projects at Push10, I contributed to the redesign of Amberton University's website. I began by assisting with the development of modular content blocks and later transitioned into a quality assurance role—testing and reviewing the site across various devices and screen sizes to confirm responsive functionality and design accuracy.
Smartbrain App
Smartbrain uses a RESTful API to detect faces in images. Users can input the URL of a photo containing one or more people, and the app highlights any detected faces in real time. This project showcases front-end integration with a third-party API.
Robofriends
A playful, filterable directory of robot profiles—each with human-like names, email addresses, and contact details. Users can search in real time to quickly locate specific robots, demonstrating dynamic rendering, search functionality, and responsive UI design.
WeatherApp
This app lets users check current weather conditions and the forecast for any city worldwide. By integrating with a weather API, it delivers real-time data based on user input and highlights form handling, API integration, and clean, responsive interface design.
UX/UI Design Projects
Carrots Cooking App
A mobile-first cooking app designed for kids, combining playful visuals with intuitive user experience. The project, titled Carrots, went through two rounds of usability testing to refine its design. All wireframes and high-fidelity mockups were created in Figma and adapted for mobile, tablet, and desktop screens to ensure a fully responsive experience.
BoutiqueApp
BoutiqueApp offers a clean, user-friendly design focused on a seamless checkout experience. Created with Figma, the mockups feature a simple color palette and clear, intuitive buttons that guide users confidently through navigation and purchasing.
PetConnect
A desktop-first design created in Adobe XD, PetConnect enables users to browse available pets and schedule visits to meet their favorites. The interface offers clear navigation and comprehensive pet details tailored to potential adopters. Through multiple rounds of usability testing, the design was iterated to address user pain points and enhance overall experience.
