Negativity or Sexism Being in This Industry? Personally, I've never had any issues with being a woman in the industry. I think good work is good work, and I feel I've had the same opportunities as my male counterparts. However, I just realized that most of my clients are female, so perhaps I never noticed. Or maybe I'm just really lucky. Do You Think Female Designers Have Advantages Over Their Male Counterparts? I don't think that female designers have advantages just by being female. I think that we bring a unique perspective and voice to the industry, just as male designers do. If You Were Not a Designer, What Would You Be? Honestly, design is so ingrained in me now; I have no idea where I'd be without it. I probably would have stuck with my original plan and gotten into the magazine industry. What is Your Biggest Challenge/Achievement? I'm currently getting into PHP development, and that's a completely different monster than I'm used to. It's a little intimidating and very exciting. Anything to Say to Other Female Designers? Don't let the technical side of web design intimidate you. Be aware of what others are doing, but don't get too caught up in it. Someone will always be better than you. Focus on producing your best work. Keep learning. This industry changes so quickly, it takes diligence to stay in the loop.
