A little history
Background
After building a website in HTML while taking Intro to Computing class in the late ’90’s, I was hooked on computing. After studying C++, Java, and ASP.NET in school, I realized I really loved making websites look good – but there wasn’t a major for that at my small school at that time.
After graduation, I worked for a bank in IT, learning various parts of the business, including contract negotiation and technology sourcing, acquisition integration, and project management.
Our family grew and my husband and I decided I would stay home to raise our kids. It was a scary, yet thrilling decision to ‘retire’ (ha, ha!) before the age of 30!
After years of enjoying the time with our kids, I re-entered the workforce part time, eventually working with a web design company. There, I learned so much about the business, and newer tools of the trade and regained my passion for design.
Hemlock Strategy + Design was born in 2021 and I’m absolutely thrilled to offer my unique blend of design, detail-oriented development, and customer focus to my clients.
What is a Hemlock?
Behind The Name
I know, I know – Hemlock Strategy + Design isn’t the most obvious name for a website design company.
Hemlocks are some of my favorite trees. My husband I and would hike in our Northeast Ohio parks and in Western Pennslyvania and I fell in love with the airy, graceful trees that have tiny pinecones and dappled the light to the forest floor.
Building a website for your business can be an intense process, but I hope to bring peace and steady encouragement to you during your project!
