Liyu Development
Hi, I'm Heather
I’m a Frontend Developer, designing custom websites and apps to flow and function.
At LiyuDev, I focus on building responsive, scalable, and user-friendly web applications. Inspired by my succulents and Chicago architecture, I pair modern technologies with a cup of highlighters to design and built custom products that feel organic.
Top of my stack:
React • Next.js • TypeScript • Redux • HTML • SCSS • WordPress

About
My favorite part of this job is hearing the person who hates technology say “Oh! This is so much easier!” I’ve worked for multigenerational companies and know what it takes to build tools that work for everyone on the team. Websites that attract customers and are easy to navigate.
I love to collaborate – to share history and to create it. I design products companies still use a decade later. And when it’s time to refresh, we pick up right where we left off. Lets build something together!

So many dreams, so little time.
Bucket List:
Live on a ranch ✓
Name baby racehorses ✓
Cities are my happy place – especially Chicago and SF. Many happy years in one and now commuting distance to the other. Go Cubs!
A trip to the SF Botanical Garden inspired my succulent collection. The colors and shapes inspire my builds.
I design *with pockets. Beauty and function, structure and creativity. Combining old tools and new in my work helps me blend the same for you.
