Hi there! I’m Jameson. I have spent the last 15+ years as a self-taught web and mobile designer/developer, and I am excited to now distill years of learning and experience into simple, straight-forward courses designed to help you learn the foundational skills you need to excel. My goal as a teacher is to focus on clearly teaching the absolute necessities so you can learn new skills quickly and put them to use bringing your own dreams to life.

In my career as a web developer, I have had the privilege of building all kinds of websites and mobile applications, including custom blogs for influencers, e-commerce sites for small businesses, and enterprise-level web platforms for multi-million dollar organizations. Through each of these projects, I honed my workflow and assembled my “toolbox” of strategies and tactics to tackle any project without getting bogged down in the myriad of languages, tech stacks, and platforms available. It’s my hope to pass on these core fundamentals through a collection of courses now and in the future, and I’d be honored to have you join me on this adventure of learning and growing as digital professionals.

Hope to see you in class!
