Hi, my name is Sonya (she/her) and I’m a developer, entrepreneur, and designer based in Austin, TX. Beautiful functionality is my happy place. I thrive in order and color, and I adore being able to play in the intersection between technical and visual.

✨ I have been creating for others for as long as I can remember. I feel deep joy in seeing someone use something that I created from nothing, and have that fill a purpose in their life. Whether it’s art, a pair of hand-knit socks, digital products, a website, or an application.
👩💻 My background in business and marketing gives me a unique and strategic perspective as a developer. My mind is always thinking about the needs of a target market and how to implement it. Every detail matters, from how code is structured for functionality, to every touchpoint in the user’s journey. I am always striving to make my work as intuitive and efficient as possible.
💃 I love being able to take a project from conception to reality. The creative process of being able to build something from scratch is so exciting and fulfilling to me, and essentially why I began coding to begin with. My mind is always bursting with ideas. Let’s make something together!
