I designed my first web site in 1997, through sheer tenacity. I had only been online a few short months and watched my neighbor trying to build a web page. If she could do it - I could too! My determination paid off. I spent literally thousands of hours reading, studying and learning all I could soak in about web design. Two years after I built my first web page, I launched my web design business. It's been a continuous learning process ever since. I've taken several online courses and learned more via some fine online designer friends.
I have some very loyal clients who sing my praises and have referred many people to me. That's the best advertising one could ask for. Six years after I started my design business, I am still enjoying what I do.

I provided an in-home daycare/preschool. I taught preschool basics, as well as general child training. Having three newborns at once, I fine tuned my already excellent multi-tasking and organizational skills. Utilizing a color code system helped myself, and the children, have a sense of order about our day.
I still keep in touch with those daycare children after all these years!
