History
I like to say that I’m an accidental web designer. I started out at the suggestion of my father. I guess he saw the potential of taming my obsession with the internet and molding it into something useful. I was a young wife and mother, and never dreamed it would ever turn out to be such a huge part of my life.
As time went on, I got more practice and more experience. I’m now a successful, self-taught, freelancer; everything I’ve learned has come from trial, error, observation and my old friend, the internet. The result is a non-cookie cutter style, and the ability to continue to learn and assimilate to new techniques and trends.
I am 26 years old living in a small community outside of Birmingham, Alabama, USA with my husband of 8 years, and our three daughters. My blog is featured on Alltop and I am officially recognized by Automattic as a WordPress Consultant.

WordPress Customization
WordPress is an open source publishing platform that makes creating your own blog or website as simple as their 5 minute install. My passion is customizing WordPress into fully functional sites that you (the client) can manage yourself. I have specialized in deep WordPress customization for the past three years, and my compounded knowledge and experience gives us an advantage over those attempting to use WordPress on their own.

XHTML & CSS Development
I am passionate about clean, easy to edit stylesheets, and tableless markup that separates content from style. Gone are the days of tables, font tags, rainbow horizontal rules, and content mixed with design. They’ve been replaced with cross browser compatible, standards compliant xhtml and css code, and that is what I do.

Web & Layout Design
I am a designer. I really mean that. Everything I look at is filtered through my design obsessed brain; from the swirl in my latte to the typeface on a billboard. I love the details. Web design is my playground, and Photoshop is my jungle gym. Whether it’s a WordPress theme or a static site, I guarantee passion in my work.

Logo Design & Corporate Identity
I do not claim to be the best logo designer, but I do offer this service to those that are on tighter budgets for logo design, or modernizing and digitizing your current logo. I also offer corporate identity and usage guideline services. With your logo, we can develop the guidelines in which it can be used, manipulated, or colored. We can also create your business card and stationary design, ready for printing or using electronically.

Print & Graphic Design
This isn’t an area that I have spent much focus on, but it is something I have done occasionally for clients wanting to see their web design translated into some form of printed material. I also do graphic work, like the button you want to add to your site to advertise a new feature, or a custom twitter background. Basically, if it needs designed, I can handle it.
