Organizers

    In high school Ann described herself as the girl who put on makeup to go to the LAN party. Honestly, not much has changed. She has been working with WordPress for almost 10 years and got into the development side of things 3 years ago after her son was born. She loves all things front-end, making sites look nice and pretty. She also loves to keep projects organized from initial idea to launch today, using as many emojis and GIFs as possible along the way. She works at Endo Creative and in her free time (working moms have free time?) she enjoys renovating and designing her house, board games, and bicycles.

    Over the past 10 years, I’ve worn just about every hat in the web design world. And I’ve finally found the two that fit just right.

    • Building digital products
    • Educating others

    So that’s what I do now—sell WordPress themes & plugins and teach beginners how to build & manage their WordPress sites.

    I volunteered for WordCamp Denver in 2018, had a blast and wanted to get more involved. I helped organize in 2019 & wanted to come back for more this year 🎉.

    My company, Escape Creative, just turned 11 years old. Here’s to the next 11 of hopefully working smarter instead of harder.

    Outside of the WordPress world, you’ll find me hiking/running the Colorado mountains, bouncing off the walls of my CrossFit gym, writing down my thoughts and trying to save the world with as few things as possible.

    A few years ago, after a couple of decades working as a systems administrator, a web designer, a UI lead, and finally an Architect, I finally worked up the courage to start a business of my own that would use my skills in technology and web development to help people turn dreams and ideas into small businesses of their own.

    Today I do that as an independent consultant doing business as Denver Business Design Consulting (dbdc to its friends), specializing in custom development for WordPress + WooCommerce with an emphasis on Subscription and Membership sites.

    I built my first WordPress site in 2006 and ever since have seen it as a vital piece of the Open Web, a tool that anyone can use to build something online that they own and they control.

    After enjoying and benefitting from WordCamp Denver as an attendee for several years, I’m excited to be working as an organizer to help keep it going into the future.
