Alan Ballard is a Web Designer and Front-End Developer at ProWorks Corporation, an Umbraco Platinum Partner. With ProWorks since 2006, Alan brings a design background to the Umbraco platform: pairing visual design, user interface work, and brand identity with hands-on front-end development to turn Umbraco sites into polished, usable experiences. He holds a BFA in Graphic Design from Oregon State University and works across site planning, design systems, and front-end implementation. More recently, Alan has been exploring how AI fits into the Umbraco workflow, including connecting Claude to an Umbraco development environment via the Umbraco MCP to draft structured pages directly in the back office.
