HELLO!
.....

I'm Pam. I'm a designer, a photographer, and a web developer with over 15 years of experience working in online strategy, design, and development—many of those years working with creative professionals in the area of graphic design and direction.
(I sometimes ask for creative direction, too.)

I interact daily with product owners, marketing, and IT professionals, improving print products and online services through project planning and development, creative direction, graphic design, UX, programming, SEO, e-commerce, social media design, and mobile app projects.

My experience has given me the opportunity to work in both non-profit and for-profit environments, working directly with clients, as well as internal and contract employees to successfully complete projects. I have experience managing the work from initial concept and brainstorming, to the creation of timelines and site flowcharts, copy writing/editing, design, programming, and working with all involved to meet deadlines.

Other random facts:

+
I hoard fonts.

I tend to use my favorites 90% of the time, but I have 1,000 more just in case.
+
I like big dogs.

Combined, by two dogs weigh approximately 200lbs.
+
I like to proofread. I will probably add commas.

"I like cooking my family and my pets."
"I like cooking, my family, and my pets."
Commas save lives.
+
I still double-space after sentences.

Choose your battles.
+
I love a good road trip.

Last summer I drove 4,190.2 miles in 17 days, visiting 8 states and 3 National Parks / Monuments.
+
It's safer to talk to me after my coffee.

Your life isn't at risk, but I'll sound more coherent after a cup.
+
I don't watch much TV.

But I will watch every season of The Office over and over again.

“It’s performance review day, company-wide. Last year, my performance review started with Michael asking me what my hopes and dreams were, and it ended with him telling me he could bench-press 190 pounds. So, I don’t really know what to expect.”
– Pam Beesly, The Office
