Savannah Skinner

Growing up with a database administrator for a mom gave me and my siblings a strong love for technology. I was the classroom IT kid who doodled on the corner of their homework. This passion for both art and technology led me to web design and development, a way of marrying my natural skills and interests.

My philosophy towards design and development has been fairly simple: inuitive, efficient, and beautiful. What I create should be relevant, pleasing to look at, intuitive to use, and easily maintained. I bring this mindset to every project and strive to improve a little more each day. My current interest lies in accessibility. Every person should have equal and fair access to the web, and I'm constantly learning and growing towards that goal.

This portfolio serves as a playground to try out ideas, a gallery to showcase my progress, and an introduction to those who’d like to know more. If you are interested in working with me, see my resume and what I can do on the skillset page. If you see something you’d like more information on, reach out to me using the contact page.

Web Development Internship

Traction Marketing

I interned at Traction Marketing for roughly 3 months. They have a great team of passionate individuals and I'm really glad I had the opportunity to learn from them. I learned so much about Wordpress, jQuery, and collaborative development while there. Most school or personal projects are entirely on my own so this really helped me understand how to clearly communicate and work with a team. All in all, it was a great experience and I look forward to applying the skills I gained in my future projects.
