I am a designer with a passion for illustration and a geeky curiosity for the latest technology. Pen and paper are always with me and, most of the time, I am sketching. I strive to be a resourceful and thoughtful problem solver in all that I do, while staying true to my belief that

we should listen before we react

and

that the key to creativity is flexibility.

(and)

(that we should wear the coolest sneakers possible.)

Growing up, I always loved working with my hands- from sketching to building Lego mansions. This spurred me to pursue a Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Design. Design incorporates much of the things I love about creativity and problem solving. After graduation, I worked as a graphic designer in the marketing division of an upscale frozen dessert franchise and greatly impacted the branding of the company. In my opinion, the best part of being a designer is the gratifying feeling I get when I come up with a clever solution.

Although fairly new to the scene, I’d say I have a lifetime of experience that has prepared me for my current role as a communication consultant. From as early as I can remember words have been my passion. My first story at age 3 about a runaway cat still sits on my grandfather’s shelf as proof of my early onset love for writing. As I grew up that love only expanded from writing stories for my grandfather to writing/telling stories to anyone willing to listen. Today, turning people’s thoughts into words is still my passion and I’m lucky enough to make a living doing so!

I have a degree in Communication with a minor in Marketing and spent my first year out of college in the Marketing department of a software company. I’m thrilled to now be on the Orange Sparkle Ball team surrounded by such talent and passion for design and communication as well.

Eric is our in-house comedian. But when he’s not making everyone laugh (or roll their eyes), he can be found working with his OSB teammates to craft creative and innovative solutions for Orange Sparkle Ball’s awesome clients. He, like the rest of the Orange Sparkle Ball team, loves a tricky design problem, and relishes in finding elegantly simple solutions.

CSS 101?

Tue, 13 Dec 2011 20:48:19 -0800

If you only want to select an element that has, say, BOTH of the classes “first” and “selected”, but not all the elements that have EITHER classm you can just use “.first.selected” (no spaces between the class names) as your selector, and presto, it selects just elements with BOTH the “first” and “selected” classes. Not sure of the browser support, but it seems to work in all the browsers I tested.

Google attempting to take on JS?

Can Google, with its daily stronger foothold in both the browser and search markets, conquer the JS community as well? Enter Dart.

Orange Sparkle Ball helped the Roller Derby band Tricksy (http://www.tricksyrox.com) turn it up to 11 by collaborating with the band on a refresh of their website.

The site features a new look and offers a pop-out music player! The player uses modern HTML5 technology, with Flash as a fallback, to play the latest and greatest Tricksy tunes!

Another new features is the band’s new photo gallery: powered by Javascript and using jQuery, the gallery allows for a fun, extremely interactive experience. Be sure to check out this rockin’ site!

Coming from over a decade of customer service experience, I am constantly pondering how best to serve my team and clients’ needs while being the newbie in this ever-changing industry. I find that I’m detail-oriented and a darn good assistant. I enjoy things of tedious nature and following things through to the end. I look forward to Orange Sparkle Ball’s future as well as my own evolution within this organization. We are moving towards some exciting endeavors!!

I am a librarian at heart in that I love finding systems for organization. For example, my books are currently in rainbow order (ROYGBIV) and my dvds are in alphabetical order.
