Kate F.W. Ford
BACKGROUND
With a degree in Interior Design, my career began in the creative world—but it was computer-aided drafting that first pulled me toward technology. That spark led me into graphic design, and eventually into web development, where I found my true passion: building and problem-solving through code.
My background in art, design, and colour theory gives me a strong understanding of visual balance and user experience—skills that translate beautifully into web design. Combined with over 20 years of experience in computer programming, I bring together both creativity and technical precision. I’m as comfortable designing a beautiful interface as I am writing the code that powers it behind the scenes.
Today, I’m a full-stack WordPress developer with a particular love for backend development. Because I understand both the creative and technical sides of a project, I bridge the gap between design and development. I don’t just hand ideas off to a developer; I bring them to life myself, ensuring every project looks stunning and functions flawlessly.
I take on projects across both the UK and the USA, working with individuals, businesses, and agencies of all sizes. No project is too small, and I’m always up for a challenge. I’m flexible with timeframes and don’t mind putting in the hours to meet a deadline.
And if you’ve got one of those impossible bugs that just won’t go away—send it my way. Those are my favourite kind of puzzles, and I’ll happily work on them until they’re solved.
I love what I do, and I love the people I meet along the way. Every project is a collaboration, and I take pride in turning ideas into something real, functional, and built to last.
