Lorissa Shepstone – Web Developer

I’ve been creating websites since high school, way back in 1996 when the annoying <blink> tag was over-used. I’m passionate about cohesive and beautiful designs, and finding the best solution for the project at hand. As a designer, I focus on creating usable websites that are sustainable, scalable, and visually appealing. I am continually striving to learn how to better my process, adapt to specific project needs, and improve the overall user experience.

You can expect me to be transparent throughout the design process with a genuine goal to provide you with the best experience and results possible.

What I take seriously:

- Effective, clean, & beautiful design

- Using the best tools for the job

- Honest, long-term client relationships

- Bringing my best to every project

- The Oxford comma

And what I don't:

- Myself (life is too short!)

- Fortune cookies

I've been fortunate to work with numerous authors and publishers in creating great websites to further the love of books. It’s exciting to launch a new book and I love being a part of that.

Some of my clients include Abrams Books, Disney Press, Harper Collins Publishers, Hachette Book Group, Penguin Random House, Freakonomics, Baker &amp; Taylor Publishing Group, and Workman Publishing. I have also done work for DreamWorks, 20th Century Fox, Aveda, and De’Longhi.
