Teresa is a work-from-home self-taught web designer with over 15 years of experience in web building and desktop publishing, and a lifetime interest in drawing and painting before that.
Her post-secondary education was in Physics (M.Sc., UBC, 1990) which involved a fair amount of programming and various computer use. It was only natural that she would eventually combine her computer experience with her fine arts skills.
Teresa's original desktop publishing and web design experience came through her involvement in the area of athletics (running), both as an athlete and an administrator. Since 2001 she has been designing for clients in other areas of interest as well (festivals, clubs, businesses) through word-of-mouth referrals of her services.
These referrals grew to the point where Teresa decided to turn her part-time endeavours into a full-time business in late 2002 to accommodate the volume of requests coming in. In other words, she has been fortunate enough to turn her favourite "hobby" into her business (i.e. she really loves designing websites!). Digital photography has been added to the mix, both as a hobby and for website needs.
In 2009 Teresa was nominated and selected as a finalist in the Sunshine Coast Business Awards of Distinction in the Home-Based Business category.
When she's not working at the computer, Teresa spends her time with her family (hubby and kids aged 9 and 13), running and racing, singing with Arbutus Sounds Chorus (women's barbershop), and organizing a number of running events including the Sunshine Coast April Fool's Run. In summertime you'll often find the family on one of the beautiful local beaches or lakes, mountain biking, or hiking in the woods.
