About Sue Wallis Williams
Sue Wallis WilliamsWarm Welcome, Dear Reader:
IMO, the more you know about your web designer, the better end-result you're going to get.
We'll want to connect at some level because you're going to be working with me for at least a couple of weeks, so making an educated decision of whether we're on "the same page" will help save time for everyone.

Graphic Design Services / The Decades Preceding 1991
From college to intern to full time to contract to freelance, Los Angeles, CA
Right smack out of Southern Illinois University's Department of Design, a friend hooked me up with an amazingly talented group of designers in Los Angeles. This design boutique had just relocated from New York. They told me - before hiring me - that everything I had learned in design school was a waste of time. Although not entirely true, they were certainly a great place to start my design career.
After a year under expert design tutelage, onward to freelance production artist at practically every ad agency on mid-Wilshire from J. Walter Thompson to Chiat/Day. A very fun gig doing the graphics for Kentucky Fried Movie (yay! my only movie credit!). A year at Computer Sciences Corporation as a senior graphic designer. Endless other training, design classes, etc. Straight Line Design, my little print shop in Venice... and onward to the OC.
My Third Chapter
I'm excited about this chapter of my career. Discovering new technology is so fun for me. And with all the years of experience I've already accumulated, melding the old and new technologies is something I've come to really enjoy.
So, I'll continue to learn new technology tricks and share them with my clients. Things like the best practices for SEO, social media appropriateness, new technologies and styles, design, layout, spelling, message, and all the important details for the direction of a small business.
Did you read all this? Wow, thanks so much for your interest. If my skills sound like the right fit for you, tell me about you.
