    WordPress Origin Story

    I got started using WordPress in 2007 creating websites for nonprofit organizations and small business clients. I’ve used WordPress for many client projects over the years, and use it in my current day job for both external and internal websites. I got started as a graphic designer, but I also enjoy getting into the code for plugins and themes.
