IT professional and all-around creative

Nancy Brauer

Hello there!

As a geologist turned web programmer and creative, I've been writing, drawing, and cracking open rocks for as long as I can remember. I'm a generalist who's all about the big picture, and excel at communicating that picture to others. At any given time you might find me typing on my MacBook, working on a DIY project, or taking photos with my Nikon.

If my skills can help you succeed, let's talk!

My 10+ years of experience

What I Do

I speak IT.

Need computer programs and websites translated into plain English? I can help.

Web Programming

I've created and supported websites ranging from static HTML to complex database-driven content management systems.

Troubleshooting and Debugging

I dive into existing systems, figure out how the pieces fit together, and improve on them.

Email Marketing and Marketing Automation

I integrate clients' Mailchimp and Active Campaign accounts with their websites and social media.
