About

Design-minded engineering with editorial precision

A decade of shipping interfaces where typography, structure, and performance do the heavy lifting.

Portrait of Avery Quinn, senior frontend engineer

I build frontend experiences that read like well-set publications — clear hierarchy, intentional whitespace, and CSS that scales. My work sits at the intersection of brand, accessibility, and engineering craft. Whether it’s a marketing site, a product UI, or a design system foundation, I focus on maintainable HTML and CSS that teams can trust.

FAQ

Common questions

Answers about process, stack, and collaboration.

Do you work only with HTML and CSS?

PortfolioCraft demonstrates mastery of HTML5 and CSS3 with zero JavaScript. In client work I can integrate with existing stacks, but the foundation is always semantic markup and maintainable CSS.

What does a typical engagement look like?

Most projects follow Discover → Research → Design → Develop → Test → Launch. Timelines range from two weeks for a landing page to several months for a design system.

Can you improve an existing site’s Lighthouse scores?

Yes. I audit performance, accessibility, SEO, and best practices, then deliver prioritized fixes — often focusing on CSS weight, image strategy, and semantic structure.

Do you provide design as well as development?

Yes. I offer UI design that translates cleanly to production HTML/CSS, including tokens, type scales, and SVG illustration systems.

How do you handle accessibility?

I target WCAG 2.2 AA: semantic landmarks, keyboard navigation, visible focus, sufficient contrast, skip links, and reduced-motion support — verified with manual testing.
