 My name is Kasey McKnight and I've been designing websites for over 10 years. My friends all call me a "geek" because even on weekends, I'm on the computer. I love my work! One of the things I love best about designing webpages is learning about new businesses. Matching logos and color schemes, developing new design techniques, I get excited every time I get a new client because every website is different and my work is never boring.
I originally started out as a typesetter for a mom and pop print shop about 20 years ago. I used a very old fashioned typesetting machine that was strictly code, there was no WYSIWYG editor and putting brochures and flyers together was done on a light table with film and an exacto knife. That was way long ago!
The the PC revolution hit and I became interested in desktop publishing and produced materials for businesses from my home office in Grass Valley, CA while raising three kids on a single salary. Those were the beans and rice days.
I moved to Oroville, CA and was hired by a web design firm that started out very small and got big fast. We survived the dot com crash and I was made manager. The company sold and I was kept on as manager. This company is where I gained most of my web design experience.
I missed working from my home and decided once again (after almost 10 years with the prior company) to go it on my own. The result of that is what you see here. I love to be my own boss and call my own hours, although now I find myself working into the night, I still love it.
My hobbies (other than computers) are crocheting, making polymer clay critters - I've got a whole tribe of spotted dragons in which when you're making them you have to have an English accent or it just isn't right. So me and my friend work on them while bantering back and forth with English accents, it's just crazy fun. I also like painting (which I never have time for) and believe it or not I LOVE to play WOW!
But most of all I am a computer nut and that's where you'll usually find me!
