This website is built as a static site and integrates a limited number of reputable third-party services to operate efficiently:

You can choose to disable or block cookies through your individual browser settings at any time. Doing so will not affect your ability to browse the website or contact me.

Inquiry records and project communications are retained only as long as necessary to complete client discussions, fulfill agreed business services, or comply with standard record-keeping obligations. Inactive inquiries are periodically reviewed and deleted.
