About

     Several years ago, I was the Web and Catalog Division Manager at a personal care
     products manufacturer and I had the opportunity to take on the role of part-time
     webmaster in addition to my other responsibilities. The closet computer geek and
     artist in me finally found an appealing co-mingled outlet. I began to understand
     why programmers always have that bleary eyed look: they've got an obsessive
     desire to create something beautiful out of an ugly programming language.
     Creating engaging and interesting web sites has become an obsession for me.
     Having been on the corporate side negotiating with design firms regarding the look,
     feel and usability of a web site, I bring all that working knowledge to the table.
     I can help guide you on the business and marketing aspects of web site design.

     One thing that I've noticed in my years on the Web is a lack of consistent quality in
     many web sites. There are some beautiful sites out there; it's not hard to find pages
     that please the eye and stir the senses. There are also plenty of well-written
     documents and articles on the Web, grabbing visitors with an elegant and effective
     use of language. In my exploration of the Web, however, I seldom come across
     a consistent blend of good content and presentation on the same site. That's one of
     the things that I bring to the table: my descriptive writing experience nicely
     complements the clean, stylish and detail-oriented design in the sites that I create.

     Getting your own web site can be a scary experience if you haven't done it before.
     You need to trust that everything is going to go well - even when you’re not sure
     what "everything” is comprised of. I've learned that many clients love to have the
     soup-to-nuts treatment – which could include web design, content creation, domain
     name registration and web site hosting - and have the process explained to them in
     simple terms. You don't need to learn all the technical jargon.

     If you're interested in my work, don't worry if there is a physical distance between
     us – I’m just a click away!
