Experience

My past job experience has all prepared me for the work I now do. Just out of high school, I worked for an advertising agency doing miscellaneous jobs including editing/proofreading and darkroom work. My next two jobs were clerical in nature, serving to hone my customer-relation skills, computer experience, and newsletter editing and design.

After starting Complete Computers with my husband, I began doing graphic design. My two primary customers were print shops who used my services for creating/editing logos, complex printed form layout, and graphic design. Complete Computers became an internet service provider in 1996, which started my journey into web design. Among other clients, my early sites included a large e-commerce venture for a candle manufacturer, miscellaneous information sites for local businesses, and free sites for churches. To become more proficient and knowledgeable in my industry, I also earned certifications in server technology.

Stepping out on my own as a retail store owner, I gained a wealth of information and experience in reaching, satisfying and keeping customers.

The past ten years or so have seen a huge evolution in web design and the technologies involved. I am constantly learning and training, upgrading my equipment and software, and attempting to stay on top of the wave of changes.
