Main

Hi,

My name is Nathalie Steinfeld Childre and I enjoy creating things that live on the internet. I am a savvy Full-Stack PHP developer with more than fifteen years experience in web development, web and graphic design. Because of that I am able to test my ideas and creative vision and avoid concepts that work great in theory, but break down in practice. This means I can support your project at any stage it needs it. From strategy and brainstorming ideas, to defining the user experience, to interface design, to development, I love bringing great ideas to life no matter the screen size or platform. I am a dynamic self-starter with proven track record of creating engaging UX designs, optimized backend code, and data management. And I have a proven history of meeting budget and deadline requirements.
