Happy clients, happy life
“Kristin is everything you would want in a data visualization & frontend developer — her execution is excellent down to the last design details. Throughout our time collaborating on the OpenSecrets frontend web development project, she worked very efficiently, sharing clear and regular updates and problem solving creatively when code or UI challenges arose. She is communicative, dedicated, and an overall pleasure to work with.
Kristin is the kind of freelancer that you bring on to a project and never worry that the work will be delivered, and in great form.
Highly recommend her work and services!”

[...] Als Developerin für Datenvisualisierung und Frontend rockt sie jedes Projekt – egal, was ich oder die Kund:innen sich ausdenken, sie setzt es um.
