As a freelance web designer, I enjoy working for small, start-up, and non-profit businesses/organizations. I received my background in print design from SJSU, and am self-taught in website design and development. I live in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Someone said something nice about me

“Paula is a brilliant designer. She requires very little direction to get the heart of a company's message down in visuals and her style is current without veering too far out of the box. Even her rough work is presented professionally and she represents the company and herself in a very polished manner in person. I love working with her and am going to keep requesting her on projects!”
