Work
Profile
Present, Unfolding
After a nine month hiatus, I am currently looking to add one or two new clients whose work aligns with my mission and values (sustainability, eco-activism, building community resilience in Floyd, Virginia and the New River Valley, personal growth, and conscious loving business).
Web Development, Graphic Design, Freelance 2015 - 2021
From 2015 to 2021, I have provided creative and technical support for a handful of loyal clients. In addition to building websites in WordPress, I acquired quite a lot of experience in marketing and running a sizeable membership site, including building and managing sales funnels, sales pages, complex automations, social media content creation, and running promotions.
Website, Marketing, Inside Sales, Project management 2010 - 2015
I loved the five years I spent working for a custom lighting manufacturer and I still use the project management skills I learned there. In 2014, I led the overhaul of the company's aged website and organized their entire 1,200 lighting fixture database. The site has changed a little since I left, and I would do a few things differently now, but it still looks good!

I have been drawing and imagining since I was wee
My mother saved this painting I made when I was four. I love best the joyful girls riding the carnival train.
I find my best ideas come when I don't think about it too much. Get out of the way and let the creative process flow. Of course, there is also the time-consuming execution required to take a great idea and turn it into something polished and beautiful.
