Desgining & Developing an Effective Web Strategy for Your Business
Greater San Diego Area
I help individuals and businesses use simple, generally inexpensive technology to reach more people, work smarter, and communicate better.
Personal technology like laptops, mobile phones, and internet applications are a part of so many people's lives but how many people can say they really understand how it all works? How to use it well and to its full capacity? Most people you interact with have email but are we all using it well? You also have a cell phone but is it making your life harder by being one more thing to maintain? Having a business in 2008 means (or should mean) having a website but are you getting your money's worth from your host, your webmaster, or your site itself? With all the different ways to communicate with each other, market our ideas, and find new people with which to interact it can quickly become overwhelming trying to chose a product or service that can help rather than hinder.
That's where I come in.
I have over a decade of experience learning, using, and teaching technology to people in a variety of different industries. I can help make sense of the hardware you're using, the software you've heard of, and the internet you work with everyday. Do you have an idea or product and you're not sure how to get started sharing your idea with the world? I'll help you build an informative website, find a team of people, and use free tools to stay productive. Are you a creative with more talent than you know what to do with? I can show you how to spread the word through social technology and present your work in a way that translates from the work itself to print to the internet. Are you able to work virtually but not sure how to stay productive? Let me help you optimize that old laptop, learn a few on-line services, and get you grinding away at your local coffee shop.
I love learning and I love teaching and I'm good at both. Teach me about what you do and let me help you do it even better!

A Technology Strategist is someone who shows small businesses and individuals how to effectively use technology to make their lives easier or reach new and exciting groups of people.
Let me help you do more with your computer, your mobile phone, and the software you use everyday. Let me help you make the most out of technology instead of having it confound and frustrate you. I can build you a website that shows people who you are and what you have to offer. Whether you're established in your field or just trying something new, I can help you create an exciting web presence and manage all the new prospective business.
I've been a bona fide geek for over a decade and have stayed up on technology for at least as long. I have experience in technical support, document design and writing, HTML/CSS programming, marketing and press relations, and, most importantly, training and teaching.
