Sue Rostvold’s Summary

To see everything I'm up to visit www.SueRostvold.com

suerostvold@gmail.com

IN A NUTSHELL: I started with a fine arts and photography background, then to a career in pre-press, printing, photoshop and all things digital imaging which led me back to my love of dogs, photography, and nature. In 2005 I became an green entrepreneur and founded Verysupercool LLC, a green greeting card company. I never imagined that running my business would lead me to my true calling: SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING and all things WEB 2.0!

Social Media Therapist: Everyone who is in business needs to understand web 2.0 and participate in social media, but it's important to understand some basic concepts. As a social media consultant I specialize in helping beginners understand RSS feeds, blogging, and social networks in a safe, non judgmental and confidential environment.

My Goal: Helping people understand that they don't have to be a geek to "get it".

Digital Imaging Professional: I have over twenty years of experience working in all aspects of the publishing industry, specializing in color analysis and high end commercial retouching. From billboards to buses, magazine ads to web images, as an Adobe Certified Photoshop Expert, I can make any image look awesome!

FYI: I've always got a Photoshop story or two to share!

Green Entrepreneur: Recently written up in the Matter Network as "Greenest Little Greeting Card in Texas", Verysupercool cards feature soulful portraits of dogs combined with a thoughtful quote. Since 2005, we've built a steady fan base among dog lovers and ecologically conscious card givers alike. In addition to printing exclusively on 100% post consumer recycled paper, we plant trees and we carbon offset all our shipping and then some!

My Hope: That the entire stationery industry will become more environmentally conscious. Let's raise the bar and set higher standards for what it means to have a "green" or "eco" greeting card company!
