<aside> 🎨 Hi! I'm Ollie Grove, and I help creatives and service providers turn their vibe into a website that feels like home - so they can show up online with confidence and clarity.
I love turning abstract ideas — a moodboard, a few words, or just a feeling — into clean, compelling websites that truly reflect the people behind them. Whether you're starting something new or redefining your online presence, I’ll help you build a space that feels aligned and easy to use.

Hi, I’m Ollie, a website creator with a curious mind and a winding path. I studied environmental science and climate change at the University of Idaho, but I’ve worn many hats since then: baker, cleaner, caregiver, and now, creative technologist. My first adventures in coding were back in the early 2000s, when I spent hours customizing MySpace pages, which turned out to be one of my earliest creative joys. Years later, I formalized those skills through a Frontend Development course from Skillcrush, and now I build clean, expressive websites for people who want to show up online with clarity and confidence. I love helping clients turn a mood, a feeling, or even just a few words into a site that feels like them. Web design is my side hustle for now, but I’m always learning and growing toward a more permanent space in tech. This portfolio is here to show you what I’m capable of - beyond the bullet points of a resume.
