Top SchoolMiriam Suzanne is a hybrid media artist and technologist with 16 years of experience building accessible, maintainable web products as co-founder and front-end lead at OddBird. She is an invited W3C CSS Working Group expert and core contributor to Sass, having played a lead role in defining features like cascade layers and container queries and contributing technical writing to the CSS spec. Miriam blends hands-on engineering (Python/Django, Vue, Sass) with project leadership and UX-focused strategy, shipping work relied on by larger organizations while keeping her studio small by design. Beyond code she is a prolific creative: an author, playwright, performer with Grapefruit Lab, and musician in Teacup Gorilla, bringing narrative and craft sensibilities to digital product work. Her open-source contributions include improvements to Compass, Susy, and CSS remediation tooling, and she teaches workshops worldwide—often revealing accessibility and reduced-motion refinements that are easy to miss. Based in Denver, she pairs deep standards work with unexpected maker interests like pottery and mechanical clocks, reflecting a practical curiosity that informs her engineering and artistic practice.
