With an eclectic background in web development, photography, improv comedy and Alzheimer's research, I marry the scientific method with design, because good design is really just a well-run experiment.

Find your answers here
What kind of role are you looking for?
Creative design roles in front-end development, UX/UI design and research, or a hybrid of the three.
Are you open to full-time roles?
Yes. I'm open to both full-time and freelance/contract work, happy to talk through what either could look like.
Are you open to remote work or hybrid?
Yes to both. I'm open to relocating for the right opportunity, and just as comfortable working hybrid or fully remote.
Have you worked on a team before?
Yes, and I love it. I actively seek out collaboration on and off the clock. I also do improv comedy, which is basically like doing team projects for fun.
How do I reach you?
You can fill out the contact form or reach me directly at 704-750-2185 or chris@mindmelddesign.com.
What tools and platforms do you use?
Figma and Framer for design and prototyping, Tailwind CSS and VS Code for custom development, and Wordpress, Squarespace, or Shopify depending on the project needs.
What kind of clients do you work with?
Small businesses and growing brands in the Charlotte area. If you're launching something new, refreshing an outdated site, or trying to close the gap between where your business is and where your website says it is, you're in the right place.
What problems do you fix?
Outdated designs, slow load times, and DIY websites that have outgrown what a template can do.
What kind of projects do you take on?
Everything from a single fix to a brand new custom build, no minimum. project size. That includes Shopify integrations and redesigns of any size. Already on one of the popular web builders? We can start there.
Do you handle brand and photography?
Yes. I build the foundation for SEO and marketing, create and update logos, and shoot photography for products, teams, and locations when the visuals aren't pulling their weight.
How does it work?
One discovery call. A written scope. A flat price. I build, you review, we launch. You get the site and the documentation to run it yourself going forward.
What does it cost?
Builds start at $1,200. Photography projects start at $150. Maintenance plans start at $75 a month. Every project gets a flat quote before work starts. The number you see is the number you pay (excluding fees).
