Hi, I'm Terry Summerbell.
Digital Producer, Designer & Developer
About
A little about me
I am a technical producer / project manager who loves to design and build digital experiences and apps. I built this site with Cursor, as a Next.js app with a Sanity CMS backend, connected to GitHub and deployed on Vercel. AI tools make building faster and easier, which means I can focus on developing my skills in user experience, product development and technical delivery.
Over time, I’ll add to this site my own personal projects and explorations in the digital world, using this site as my development environment - my digital scratchpad, if you will.
