Northeast Kingdom Designs

Currently I am focusing to work with smaller businesses in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont. My reason for this is two-fold. One, it keeps me close to home. And two, I feel that helping small businesses in my area is the most rewarding.

A Little History

After graduating from Lyndon State College with a Bachelors in Business Administration, I stayed at my original place of employment while I worked through college, the Wildflower Inn. After college, I worked as the innkeeper's administrative assistant, then my job grew to involve marketing and simple design for ads and flyers for the inn. I eventually took on more responsibility as the inn's marketing assistant and the wedding coordinator for a few years. Finally, family time grew more important as the hours grew longer, so I scaled back my responsibilities at the inn to be at home with my 2 children.

I worked part time from home for the inn doing design work and updating their old website for almost 2 years. Then I decided, since one child was in school and my second child was going to be entering school soon, it was time to start my own home-based business where I could work and still be there for my kids.

I had volunteered to do a couple websites for family and the Vermont Children's Theater, and then I was hired to do Meadow View Farm's website and the Chapel of the Holy Family's website. I decided to start my own design business when I did the Wildflower Inn's website. During that project I learned more about website design with thanks to support from the innkeeper's son, Tom O'Reilly, who did their previous site. I thank the O'Reilly's for helping me gain the experience to start my own venture in design.
