Blue
Moon Design has been a long time coming.
I
grew up in mainly in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. My interest
in computer applications was first kindled in high school
- my first class in computers was a way to escape taking keyboarding/typing
class. College was spent at the University of South Dakota
and University of Nebraska Omaha studying Marketing and Small
Business Management, and taking computer application and programming
classes as electives.
My
first "real job" was for the Federal Reserve
Bank in Omaha. Over the course of my career with them
I held various positions and finally landed in the Public
Relations Coordinator job, where I managed the newsletter
production, internal website development, electronic
information system management, media relations, and special
event planning.
Life
has a way of taking you on a ride, and through a series
of moves we ended up in Grand Island. I landed a position
with the Community College as a trainer for the Information
Technology department, doing seminars on word processing,
spreadsheets, the internet and desktop publishing. The
job blossomed into a adjunct instructor position, where
I instructed semester-long classes on Microcomputer Applications
(Word, Excel, Access) and Web Design. In my spare time
(which is not much with three kids) I had been doing small
jobs on the side designing web sites, newsletters and
brochures for some local businesses and social organizations.
My
job with the college ended in the the summer of 2003 when
the birth of our third daughter was accompanied by a serious
heart defect, requiring a 4 month stay at Children's
Hospital in Omaha and a whole new lifestyle with a special
needs child. Thus began my career as an independent web
designer and the birth of Blue Moon Design - the flexibility
and work load allowed me to stay home with my kids, and
to care the unique needs of our youngest child, while still
utilizing my talents and experience in the design field.
I now reside in Fremont, Nebraska, and gradually life
has calmed.
The
philosophy of Blue
Moon Design is simple - offer a design firm specializing
in web design for small businesses, with a some desktop
publishing on the side. I want to help the little guy establish
a presence on the web, and bring some uniqueness, creativity
and personal attention to detail into the mix. Enjoy your
visit to the site and look me up if you would like to take
advantage of all the opportunities available to your business
on the web!.
