About Me.
During business hours, I am the Chief Operating Officer and partner at WebDevStudios, a full service website development and design agency.
I am also the author of WordPress For Dummies, and several other books in the For Dummies™ series around web design, development and WordPress. I've enjoyed a fulfilling career in the WordPress industry for the past 18-years.
Outside of business hours, I am a casual baker, gardener, Alice in Wonderland fan, and a not-so-casual Green Bay Packers football fan.
Author.
Since 2006, I have been writing books on the WordPress platform for the For Dummies™ series from Wiley Publishing. My books are distributed world-wide in multiple languages - that is mostly due to the overwhelming popularity of the WordPress platform, which currently powers 30/% of all websites you view on the web today!

Web Design.
Design is really my passion, over anything else that fills the hours in my day. I'm a self-taught designer & frontend developer who turned dabbling into a 15-year long career! Below are some of my favorite works our team at WebDevStudios has done in the past several years.
Skype
Transforming the way we communicate!
MTV News
I want my MTV!
What's In My Food?
Campbell's Soup answers that question.

Business.
I have been involved in several business ventures in my career. I founded a yoga studio and ran that for a couple of years. I founded a WordPress Design Agency back in 2003, when WordPress first started to become popular. I also ran a WordPress Theme company for a few years.
In 2012, when my WordPress Design Agency became so busy that I couldn't do it on my own any longer, I got in touch with a colleague, Brad Williams, who was running a WordPress Development Agency. I thought our two talents would really compliment one another: Design + Development.
That was 11 years ago, and today I am still a co-owner and Chief Operating Officer at WebDevStudios. I joined in 2012, and liked it so much I decided to stay!

Web414 – Milwaukee's Web Community
I’m really excited to have been asked to speak at a local web development/design group in Milwaukee this June. The group is called Web414 – Milwaukee’s Web Development Community, and from what I understand – it’s a group of Drupal fans, mostly – – though Mike tells me that they all appreciate WordPress. (Or maybe […]

Anyone with a bit of age on ’em may read that title and in their head hear Joshua saying it in that menacing, computerized voice that I will forever associate with Global Thermonuclear War and complete annihilation of the world. By now, you’re thinking… “What IS she rambling on about??” This weekend, Chris and I […]
