Hi! I'm Melanie Magdalena, aka M2, and I create things.

I'm on a mission to create a web for everyone by:

• blending accessibility, inclusivity, and usability
• into web experiences, digital media, and automated systems

I have a Bachelor's of Science in Anthropology – concentrated in Archaeology with a minor in Earth and Planetary Science – aka I have a piece of paper to dig up dead peoples' trash 😉. Anthropology is probably the most useful degree to learn about how people not only think, but how they interact with the world around them.

• I've traveled around Mesoamerica for research and fun. You're invited to explore my journey from archaeology to web tech, their intersection, and all the fun bits in between.

I'm self-taught in digital media, design strategy, development, and accessibility. I love open source, open science, and open knowledge.

Let's create a web for everyone!
