    Bio

    I’ve been working with WordPress for over 15 years. I’ve created hundreds of WordPress themes, built and sold multiple WordPress businesses, answered thousands of support questions, and left my mark on the software through contribution and education.

    Now, I’m building Ollie, a free WordPress block theme that helps you design better, build faster, and publish sooner. Learn more about Ollie and Ollie Pro: https://olliewp.com
