Sally Anderson

UI / UX / Web Developer

Dallas, TX, USA
Designer, developer, usability advocate, and all-around geek located in the great state of Texas.

I started out as a web hobbyist in the late 1990s and quickly became a self-taught designer and developer. On a tight budget, I had to learn to do everything myself since I wanted my designs to function as well as they looked. I can leap from designing the graphics to developing the framework.

I have a wide range of marketing experiences from designing Email blasts, social media campaigns, blogs, press releases, and much more. The world is changing rapidly and I love nothing more than learning and then applying what I've learned.

I love what I do!
