Look!  Our very own Joelle was interviewed for a great article in Entrepreneur Magazine this month called “8 Tips for Working With Web Designers: Get exactly what you want for your business’s website — on time and on budget”.  The article, written by Johnathon Williams offers some great tips for anyone looking for the right designer and gives you a better idea of what to expect when starting out.  Joelle lends her experience and savvy to the list of tips, including some insight on how a new project starts.  Check it out at Entrepreneur.com! 

It’s not a secret that Joelle’s creative talents flow abundantly from the portfolio, but apparently it’s being noticed in more places than one.  The writers at Six Revisions did a piece recently called 30 Creative Illustrative Website Headers in which they highlighted the use of illustration in a website design for their Design Showcase/Inspiration Topic this week..  They showcased 30 amazing sites using illustration as a focal point and Joelle’s work popped up THREE times in the list.  Her web stylings from Fashion Junkie, Brandi Bakes and Cheestique - three gorgeous websites done by our very own, the lovely and talented Joelle were featured on their list.

It’s nice to see her talents getting recognized!  Check out the whole article on Six Revisions. Woohoo!

Yay, Kathy!

How did you accomplish [your big dream]?
A little bit of luck, some unforeseen circumstances and hard work. I was working at a big fancy consulting firm and was laid off right before 9/11. I knew it was my chance to pursue what I really loved. I started my own business designing websites that year and have been a self-employed entrepreneur ever since. I don’t regret that decision for a second. Now I am the co-owner of a popular design company Moxie Design Studios, a published author (I co-wrote The IT Girls Guide to Blogging with Moxie with my business partner Joelle Reeder) and the Editor of SafeMama.com and LovelySafeMama.com.
