Bio
I’m an experienced web developer and I do a lot of professional custom work with WordPress themes and plugins. My primary focus is creating a great user experience, both for those that log into WordPress to maintain their sites as well as their sites’ users. You can learn more about my business at AuRiseCreative.com
About me personally, I am non-binary and disabled and a very vocal self-advocate in the realm of social justice. I maintain a blog about these topics along with parenting and anti-racism on my advocacy website at Just1Voice.com

WordPress Origin Story
I’ve been a web developer since 2012, both as my day job at a local digital advertising company and as a freelancer. I started working with WordPress in 2016 and making trouble in the WordPress forums since 2017 with an older account that’s now inactive.
In 2018, I founded my company to legitimize my freelance work. My first official plugin was added to the WordPress repository in 2019 and I’ve been making plugins ever since!
