Doing What I love to Do
Web Design is my life: I am so blessed to make a living doing what I love to do. When I am at work I often snicker to myself "They are actually paying me for this!" I have always heard, do what you love for a living and you will never feel like your "going to work", and they are sooo right!
So what do I do exactly thats SO great? I am a designer, that means I design page level layout, so I basically decide how the visual interface should be designed. The pages you see on the web, I make those! Making sure when you go to a Web site you can find everything you need. So you ask, How does she do that? I create and/or move around interactive design elements until they fulfill the consistent visual treatment I am aiming for.
To support the goals of the Web site I create email campaigns, I call them "e-campaigns". You know, the newsletters and pop-ups you receive to keep you up-to-date on the goings on of the website. Laying out newsletters don't seem all that important until you come across a bad one and you wonder, "What were they thinking" or "Who designed this?".
Most of the Web sites I create are for organizations that already exsist so it is my job as a designer to match their existing branding and create solutions that support their user's needs and align with their individual design and brand strategy.
