From architecture to storefront windows to the fashion people wear, I am constantly finding new sources of inspiration.

WordPress Website Consultant and Digital Content Strategist

I take time to get to know a client’s goals and overall vision and help them create their online presence. In addition to WordPress website design and development, I work on other aspects of their digital content, such as copywriting, SEO, and email marketing.&nbsp;A business’ website is so much more than a link you put on your business card or social media profile; it’s similar to a 24/7 sales and marketing rep that works to bring in more leads and ultimately more revenue. My focus is helping my clients take advantage of that.

Unlike other freelance web developers that focus on highlighting their HTML or CSS expertise and building a static website, I concentrate on helping my clients achieve their goals and vision. We collaborate to formulate a long-term strategy that grows with their business.Furthermore, I specialize in WordPress websites built with the Divi theme so that clients have the option to make their own website updates without touching code.

I do a lot of journal writing, which I always find keeps the creative fires burning. I love spending time in nature, even if it’s just going for a country drive. I find in those moments, I often get a burst of inspiration, so I keep a notepad in my car.

My introduction into this career was through affiliate marketing. I was working as a&nbsp;non-commissioned security guard at a federal office building at the time. I was looking to branch out when I saw an online course that, among other things, taught me how to build a WordPress site, create a blog with strategically inserted affiliate links.&nbsp;I loved it and started to do more courses and teach myself about different web design and online marketing aspects, picking up HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and jQuery. Bit by bit, I started to take on a few private clients, making websites for them until I was ready to do it full-time.

I recently worked on a website remodel for a meditation coach in the Arizona area. Her website was very unclear and cluttered. The previous designers weren’t very online marketing-minded and she had seen a real drop in new activity and leads. It needed a complete makeover. It ended up being a much more complex process than initially anticipated involving creating a specific staging platform.This was a very good reminder to me to continue to stay on top of the latest web design trends and always keep the user experience (UX) in mind. I also get to use this as a case study in demonstrating an effective website vs. an ineffective website.

WordPress website design and development or redesign projects with a focus on improving a business’ overall online presence. Although I specialize in the Divi theme for WordPress websites, I'm happy to to work on any WordPress website project that involves any theme/plugins. I'm also open to helping clients with their email marketing funnels, sales funnels, consultation funnels, or webinar funnels. I can also create interactive videos upon request.

Research nerd. Writer. Coffee and tea snob. 

Who doesn’t like saving money? The difference between unsystematic product development and proper, thorough research could be millions of dollars and countless months of wasted time. Proper research foundations = saved time and money. It’s that simple.

I learned through trial and error the importance of creating a stakeholder map and truly understanding not only the hopes and fears of each individual, but also their viewpoint of the company. Stakeholder interviews can be a very important tool when it comes to understanding how research findings will be perceived and ultimately used. As a researcher and writer, it is important that I know my “audience.” This doesn’t change the data, but rather the way I communicate it.

I almost always play the role of “work mom.” I like to get to know my team members and create a safe and open work environment where everyone feels included and valued. Over the past year, I’ve learned how to still maintain that atmosphere remotely with co-worker “remote coffee,” online game nights, virtual lunch hours, or even surveys to learn more about the people I work with. A solid team is a productive team and approachability is key.

I have often noticed that conflict arises due to lack of communication or miscommunication. I like to approach conflict with a calm attitude in order to establish healthy personal boundaries. How can I better manage expectations? How can I better understand this person? A favorite activity that I learned is a one-minute exercise where each person takes turns communicating their feelings before the other tries to repeat back as much as they can verbatim. Knowing that you have to repeat back what you hear adds extra importance to listening.

Unapologetically authentic. Yes, I just use two buzz words in a row but that is how others would describe me. Throwing genuine passion into each project, I am able to creatively problem solve my way in/out of anything with a sassy smirk across my face. As a life-long-learner I welcome all points of view to my corner so long as they are not closed points of view. My entrepreneurial spirit has me working for myself in many creative forms. Mainly as Creative Director and Founder of my business Hustle LLC parent company to Hustle MKTG. Where my visual strategic design approach is brought to life through branding.
