Employment: <\/b>Project Manager<\/p>\n
Primary website:<\/b> www.brandileath.com<\/a><\/p>\n Twitter handle:<\/b> @brandimykle<\/a><\/p>\n How were you first introduced to WordPress?\u00a0<\/b>In school at Nossi College of Art, while building a custom theme for a real world client.<\/p>\n What do you like about it?\u00a0<\/b>I like that you can build a website from scratch by creating your own theme, or that you can use themes that other developers have made and still make it your own. I like that clients can take ownership of small things in the design process by giving them a Content Management System they can use that is similar to MS Word.<\/p>\n What do you do with WP now?\u00a0<\/b>I build websites and help other people manage their current sites. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n How has the WP community (local and beyond) helped you?\u00a0<\/b>I am super pumped about this. The WP community in Nashville is absolutely amazing. Nashville’s “Southern Hospitality” flows through it and everyone is willing to help everyone else. I love our town!<\/p>\n Did learning WP lead to any significant professional, personal, creative changes in your life? Tell us how!\u00a0<\/strong>It has helped project me into my career doing web design.<\/p>\n What would you tell a brand new user?\u00a0<\/b>Research the themes you purchase before purchasing them. Make sure they have a good website for their own company, a good support community, and video tutorials, etc. It makes all the difference in the world if you pick a theme that doesn’t work for you and their support is crap.<\/p>\n Anything else we should we know?\u00a0<\/b>I was an accountant for 10 years before deciding to go into graphic design. I LOVE being an artist, and UX\/UI is my passion. The human interaction with technology fascinates me and I want to make that experience as seamless as possible. Oh yea, I’m a Nashville native, apparently that is a pretty rare thing these days.<\/p>\n Do you use WordPress? Do you live in the Middle Tennessee area?
