Picture of Melanie

I play with WordPress.

After leaving a career in marketing, I returned to the freelance world to indulge my love of “the internets”. My newest project, Your Mom Uses WordPress, provides tutorials and on call programming assistance to WordPress beginners. (It’s my secret goal to help the next generation of women entrepreneurs take over the web!)

In 2009, I also founded the website Rock Unemployment, which offers job search tips, cheap fun ideas, and inspirational articles & interviews for gigging creatives. Check out the site to download my new e-book, F*** the Recession, and join the email list for site updates!

How Can I Help You?

I frequently consult on project management and web development for local agencies and private clients. I’m always happy to help with your web development projects or make referrals, especially if you’re in need of:

  • Project management
  • Web design and development
  • WordPress consulting
  • Writing, especially pitches, proposals, and presentations
  • Marketing and brand strategy

About Me

I became a personal branding strategist by way of over 12 years in TV editing, web development, and high level online marketing for clients such as MTV, Paramount, Sony, Fox, and Jenny Craig. When I’m not at my computer, I enjoy going for hikes, raiding the library, and taking photos of my crazy dog, Boomer.
