About
Hi! I'm Kristin McCollum, a front-end developer that enjoys writing clean code and solving problems. Finding creative and effective solutions while I delve into the functionality of a website is my passion.
My background as a stage manager in theatre and opera honed my enthusiasm for working collaboratively. Whether coordinating all of the moving pieces in a live production or building all of the components to bring an app to life, I bring an empathetic approach to my work, along with a keen eye for detail.
When I'm not building responsive and accessible websites, I like to lose myself in a good book, play board games or go for long walks while listening to a favourite playlist.
