Kenji Garland

Senior Developer

Kenji has been designing and programming since middle school, where he got his start teaching sacred geometry to pixelated turtles, but quickly moved toward creating websites. In retrospect, this was a highly practical decision. In the past, Kenji has built sites for schools, startups, and multinational corporations. As a web developer with Cornershop, he’s able to indulge his fascination with technological systems while helping organizations connect with the audiences they deserve. He’s a great believer in WordPress and its focus on user experience for site administrators as well as visitors, and brings that philosophy to his own work in plugin and theme development. In his spare moments he negotiates a fragile detente between a lovely beautiful cat, Roswell SpookMagnet, and a lovely beautiful psychotic dog, Sister Cujo Kitsune; and tries, in various ways, to make the world a less hostile place for all its residents
