About Dorien Drees

Web Developer | UI Designer | Accessibility Advocate With over 15 years of experience in the web development and UI design industry, I am dedicated to crafting engaging digital experiences that combine useful aesthetics with seamless functionality. My expertise lies in frontend development, CSS, HTML, and JavaScript, along with a strong focus on accessibility and user-centered design. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working on a diverse range of projects in cultural and non-commercial fields. As a team lead, Scrum Master and Software development director and now freelance webdeveloper, I have successfully guided cross-functional teams to deliver high-quality products while maintaining a clear overview of project goals. Notably, I have contributed to the development of impactful websites such as joodsmonument.nl, canonvannederland.nl, sculpture-network.org, learningstone.com, and businessrespecthumanrights.org. In addition to my technical skills, I thrive on building strong relationships with clients and stakeholders. I believe in collaborative partnerships where clients are active participants in the creative process, resulting in tailored solutions that truly meet their needs. By prioritizing open communication and truly understanding the end user's perspective, I ensure that the products I develop are of the highest quality and user satisfaction. What sets me apart is my ability to approach problems from multiple angles. Leveraging my coaching background, I ask thought-provoking questions to uncover the root of the challenges at hand, enabling me to provide innovative and effective solutions. I also have a passion for teaching and mentoring, helping junior developers and team members enhance their skills and reach their full potential. Looking ahead, my goal is to collaborate with teams to improve their workflows and establish processes that benefit both individual team members and overall project outcomes. I am particularly enthusiastic about creating accessible websites and web platforms, making technology inclusive for all users. If you share my passion for non-commercial projects and believe in the power of continuous learning and growth, let's connect! I am always open to new opportunities to make a positive impact and contribute to meaningful initiatives.
