I've always enjoyed all aspects of design, and that's why I majored in Visual Communications Technology at Bowling Green. I particularly enjoy the technology part, and I'm always eager to learn new things about the internet and design.

The first thing that people see is the design. But good design isn't an accident - it takes time, effort and a lot of teamwork to make something truly shine - because it's got to look good AND work well. Good design supports and encourages functionality, and sometimes it's working best when you don't notice it at all.

But I'm not "all work and no play!" I like to golf, and travel and spend time with my husband. I also love animals, so we have two cats and a chocolate lab.

We all are addicted to watching Lost each Wednesday night. (The dog is pretty sure it's all a dream. The cats don't agree.)
