First off, I can’t spell. I am best left to making images and programing.
I have horrible taste in music. It is not uncommon for me to rock out to WHAM! (yes, you can rock out to WHAM!), and follow it up with some Richard Marx.
I have a strong love of art, design, and have an uncontrollable urge to create.
I am a bit hyper, I am loud, and talk fast.
I love my husband, my son, and my family.
I love animals, hence the name Hollen Zoo. We have 3 dogs and 4 cats. At one time we had ten animals total. No, we are not hoarders! Would a horder have a spread sheet with their shot records!? My animals are wonderful and have taught me more about being human than any human could.
I have a passion for Virginia Wine.
I have faith in God.
I hold a MFA from VCU, and an undergraduate degree from Meredith College in Painting. I have a K-12 Certification in Art, and taught elementary art for 6 years.
I left teaching to start my own business, Jackson Sage. A pretty cool skin care company. However, I found that I enjoyed spending time behind the computer programing the website, more than I did selling the soaps and products. I transitioned from Jackson Sage being my full time gig, to this being my full time thing. However, during the transition, I was blessed with the most wonderful amazing creation yet, my Baby Boy!
Because of my background in running a small business for the past 5 years, I understand not only the design needs of my clients but the practical issues. When I design sites you get a website designed for small business, by a small business.

I am sometime cranky and will tell you like it is.
I have a dry sarcastic sense of humor and find myself making puns more than one should.
I have a love on West Virginia thanks to my husband. Picture with dogs was taking there. —>>>
I read this out loud to my husband to double check that I had correctly described myself– and he said “Yup, sounds like you.” He however was watching hockey, and I am pretty certain he thinks I just read him the stats on the Caps.
