Bio

40-year veteran creative who started in print and fell in love with the web at first sight; now trains that love on the tennis industry and several parts of the WordPress project (now including Core!)

Nuts about rare steaks, homemade hot fudge, backhand overheads and high-contrast serif typefaces, and she’ll probably take a bullet before she’ll let you have that 55-300mm lens she uses to shoot EVERYTHING.

Interests

Type, tennis, cats, code. Standard on Genesis. RacquetPress child themes use modern CSS layout like Flexbox and Grid.
