More About Me

I love working with creative professionals because I have been a creative person my entire life. As a young girl, I went from gymnastics to dance. As a teenager, I traveled the world and learned all about the world of fashion. In my 20s, I was make-up artist. As a photographer, I went from admiring exquisite cat photo books to becoming a well published editorial feline photographer in my 30s and 40s. I am a language nerd, having earned my BA from the University of Houston, Summa Laude, in Linguistics. I love Noam Chomsky’s “transformational syntax” – a new paradigm in diagramming grammatical structures. Also in my 30s, I went from being a breast cancer patient to embarking on a 20-year career in breast cancer research and support advocacy, in Chicago, San Diego, and Washington DC. I became the first resident patient advocate in a laboratory at the Salk Institute. My scientific mentor, who became family to me, Geoff Wahl, PhD, saw to it that I had face-time with scientific luminaries, including Nobel Prize winners and groundbreaking scientific discoverers from decades past. In this role, I learned to do public speaking and media events to raise awareness and to seek funding for cancer research. Simultaneous to these pursuits, I enjoyed the transcendent nature of music, going from playing piano as a child to being in several high caliber choirs, including the Houston Symphony Chorus and the Boise Philharmonic Master Chorale. I went from being in choirs, to being Board President of two choirs...at the same time. As choir President, I booked one of my choirs to perform in a 15,000-seat stadium with Andrea Bocelli on his 2019 National Tour, in Southern California. I also went from immersing myself in the Adobe Creative Suite twenty years ago to doing graphic design for world class musicians. I am a great “fit” with creative professionals, particularly in the Performing Arts, but also in photography and other visual art forms. I also fit well with writing-centric professions and entrepreneurship. We all begin somewhere and I believe that how we evolve in our various roles, careers, pursuits, and passions is a reflection of our attitude, willingness to learn, and work ethic.

Two more things to know about me: I am a people-person – and – I love cats!

I bring all of my life experiences with me to my career as a web designer. I have an affinity not only for performing arts and creative professionals, but also for anyone with imagination and diligence who starts a new business. My web design can help budding solopreneurs, as well as creative professionals. My ideal clients are musicians, dancers, writers, interior designers, fashion designers, make-up artists, self-starters, and more. If you’re a creator, I would love to work with you!
