Websites and Tech Support by Kate

One of the many upsides of being an accomplished musician is that it means I'm a creative person with an analytical brain and Rain Man levels of recall. One of the downsides is that it can be hard to make a living as a musician alone. However, this is good news for you if you need my non-musical services!

I spent the first 12 years of my post-undergrad career working in-house for nonprofits, professional associations, and higher education, using my English B.A. and (mostly) self-taught coding skills to solidify my reputation as an online communications expert. After completing my M.S. in Information Systems Technology at The George Washington University, I worked for 5+ years as a consultant with a few web development and design agencies and ultimately landed at Informed XP as a part-time Manager of Experience Transformation, focusing on user experience research and design for a number of clients.

But even while I was working 40+ hours per week in an office and playing music multiple times per week on top of that, I always ended up taking on freelance projects for friends and strangers alike who needed help with setting up or editing their website, configuring their email, or figuring out a digital strategy. It's a big and scary world for those who aren't deep in it day-to-day, and I like to make it accessible and approachable using today's best and most user-friendly technologies, so I still carve out time to offer help to those who need it.
