Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolShoko Matsuo is a seasoned web designer and front-end developer with over two decades of experience building WordPress sites, responsive layouts, e-commerce stores, and interactive UI elements. Beginning as a solo practitioner in 2000, she has evolved from table-based HTML and Flash animation to modern HTML5/CSS3, JavaScript/jQuery, PHP and Git-centric workflows. As a freelancer based in Chiyoda, Tokyo, she has a strong portfolio of consumer-facing sites—especially beauty, hospitality, and wedding projects—and brings client negotiation and product direction skills honed at an agency early in her career. An active contributor to open-source projects like the popular RailsGuides.jp, she focuses on front-end polish, accessibility and cross-device responsiveness. Unusually for a designer, her background includes formal training in social sciences and traditional illustration, which informs her UX sensibility and visual storytelling.
