About A La Heart

and a Little Background About Moi

My little brother and I on
Mom’s MacPlus.

Hello, my name is Tiffany and I’m A La Heart Design. Nice to kinda meet you.

As a career designer/developer for the past 17 years, I specialize in all aspects of brand marketing from creative direction to front-end development to UI/UX and marketing collateral design. A one-stop-shop, if you will.

Between you and me, my favorite parts are mentoring and training creative teams and building engaging designs using the latest (and niftiest) coding tricks to keep things responsive and ADA compliant.

A La Heart Design was founded in January 2009, and I’ve been dabbling in HTML/CSS since I was a teenager (I had the best MySpace profiles ever) and coloring in Illustrator since I could handle a mouse.

For the curious, à la carte in French means “according to the menu” so a la heart would mean “according to the heart.” (If you disregard linguistics rules.) More to the point, it means that design, as I see it, is less about rules and regulations and more about creativity, passion and expression.
