AmyWilliamsDesign : MyBlogHer Profile

I’m 30 years old, married and have 4 kids ranging in age from 14 to 3. I live in Salem, Oregon and when I’m not designing and developing for my clients, I spend my time homeschooling my kids, working in my vegetable garden, gaming (most notably World of Warcraft), reading, cooking, digital scrapbooking, and dabbling in photography. I rarely watch TV, but I am a huge Stargate fan, and also enjoy Good Eats, House and most recently started sneaking peeks at NCIS when it’s on.

I’ve been doing graphic design and web development since 2001, when I started out with personal and guild/gaming websites, teaching myself what I needed to know to get what I wanted done. I spend a significant amount of time keeping up to date on current coding standards and design trends. I do all the coding for clients by hand and/or in Dreamweaver and use Photoshop CS3 for graphic design for client’s websites, as well as their logo, brochure and business card designs.
