Web Design · Development · AI Education
I'm Melinda — a Utah-based designer, developer, and AI educator helping small teams build websites and skills that feel as considered as the work they do.

About
I build the kind of websites I always wanted to make as a teacher — clear, considered, and honest about what they're for. After a decade in classrooms, I traded chalk for code and never looked back.
Today I work with small businesses, studios, and nonprofits on the parts of the internet that matter most: the home page, the story page, the page where someone decides to reach out.
I also teach. Through workshops and one-on-one consulting, I help teams build real, working AI literacy — the kind that survives the next product release.

Services
Every engagement starts with a free 30-minute call. We figure out whether it's a fit, what the scope looks like, and what success means for your team.
Editorial, performance-minded sites for studios, founders, and small teams. From a single landing page to a full multi-page build with CMS.
Practical AI literacy programs for organizations that want to move past the hype. Workshops, curriculum, and rollout strategy that actually sticks.
Course design and learning experience work for EdTech and L&D teams. I bring a teacher's brain to the structure and a designer's eye to the surface.
