Hi all,
My name is Erika. I'm not exactly good at talking about myself but I'll give it a shot.
Design Background:
I first got interested in the internet, my first year in college. I spent hours surfing. I wasn't too long after that I started trying to emulate the sites that I admired. I still have a copy of the very first site I built. It was a Buffy fan site for Spike and Drusilla. I can honestly say that I've come a long way.
Personal Details:
I live in Buffalo, NY but I hail from Orlando (Home of Disney World), FL.
I met my husband online. He and I tied the knot this June. We're two peas in a pod even though I'm from the american south and he, from Ontario, Canada.
I don't really think of myself as designer yet. (at least not until it becomes my primary job)
Design Tools:
Dreamweaver, Homesite, Paint Shop Pro, Fireworks, Top Style
Why Web Design?
Well, I have a passion for being creative. I was just designing sites for myself until I came across eLance. This was before it became the pretentious place that it is now. Once they imposed the high fees for bidders, I became uninterested and started looking for projects on my own. Then I found Site Point and CreativeMoonlighter and I'm confident that I'll finally make it.
PS. in case you haven't noticed, red is my fave color
see y'all around SP and DO :)
