I am a Solution Architect for Multidots, an enterprise WordPress agency. Previously, I worked as a technical generalist for Liquid Web's StellarWP family of brands, weaving between marketing, product development, and design teams, writing, editing, and QA in each area. I mostly focused on SolidWP, Solid Security, and Infosec topics. From 2016 to 2023, I was the editor of Post Status, a wonderful part of the WordPress community for people making a living with WordPress and learning together. There, I learned, wrote, and did podcasts on the business and culture of WordPress. I started freelancing as a web designer in the late 90s. I moved into the emerging open-source web app space to take on clients who wanted to publish, sell products and services, build communities, and/or market themselves online. That was my main focus from roughly 2004 to 2014, which allowed me to work at home and be a full-time parent active in my local community. By the end of that period, I was doing WordPress projects almost exclusively. I continue to operate a consultancy, New Local Media. I enjoy planning, designing, building, and sustaining websites that people enjoy using, help them do great work, and are simple to maintain. Since the 00s, I've moved from Milwaukee, Wisconsin to rural Iowa, and now Edmonton, Alberta. I'm originally from upstate New York. I've also lived in New Jersey, North Carolina, and Micronesia.
