Our Clients Make a Difference

General Manager of Your UniverseReally. Check out Jamie Roth’s new web site (designed by Web Savvy Mama, of course) to get more information about her new book. I’ve worked with Jamie on a few projects now and have had a blast creating web sites for her because we often have the same vision of what it should look like. I kid that she is my easiest client ever. Design aside, her web sites are also fun because of the content. Jamie is definitely not afraid to speak her mind and tell it how it is! This is why I highly recommend taking a look at her new book currently available in eBook format. I did get the pleasure of not only doing her website but designing the cover for her book as well.

From Jamie:

The General Manager of Your Universe is not another how-to-be-happy book. There are plenty of those on the market. It’s about facing your responsibility to create the life you desire. This includes recognizing how you have contributed thus far and how you can do so much better from this point on. It’s time trade in the victim card and replace it with the empowered, confident you that you are meant to be. This book has straightforward language and sometimes shocking examples. It is not going to stroke your ego, it’s going to lead you to the inside of you and that might not always be easy to look at. But it’s time to stop searching for external influences to make you happy and feel good. Make yourself feel good. Live authentically, joyfully and empowered. That is the journey this book will lead you on. Only read, if you are certain you are ready to be you.

Posted: October 9, 2010 | by Kristine | Filed under: Featured New Designs, I talk alot

Kristine DeppeThe clients I’ve had for years probably already know my history of how I became a web designer, my love of all things artistic, that I’m a mom of 3 kids and have been married for over 10 years (together for 15, can you believe that?). What most of my clients and blog readers don’t know, is that I have a personal site that I also use as a sort of “cover-it-all” business card so to speak.

Just recently I decided that it needed a face lift. I designed the site back when I was in school for design, so it was a bit dated. As the story with most designers, we do everyone else’s sites first and often neglect our own! I decided that I needed to just jump in and do it and stop procrastinating!

Well, the new site is ready for everyone to see! I decided that if I was going to do it, I wanted to do it different! I broke every rule that I have for web design and decided to stop thinking rationally with this one. I told myself I’d never create a horizontal site; well I guess its true, you can never say never. When you visit the site, you’ll see what I mean. Most will either love it or hate it, and my feelings will not be hurt if its just not your style. Check it out for yourself and let me know what you think!
