I am Amber Taylor and the Senior Web Designer here at Sharpdot. We are a web development and design firm based in Atlanta, Ga. I got my start in the world of art way back in high school, when I attended a Commercial Arts vocational program in Dunwoody, GA. I then somehow ventured off and became a roadie…or an audio engineer to be exact. I worked for about 7 years doing audio on the stage and in the recording studio until, I realized I needed to get more sleep!
Tired and burnt out that marked the moment when I revisited the wonderful world of sketches and doodles. Armed with a Macintosh with some ancient O.S. version pre-dating OSX, I set out to reclaim my creative future. Working primarily with print and fine art in the beginning, I jumped ship from the print world into the world of the web.
It all started when I was working on a website for a band I was in, and couldn’t figure out html for the life of me. With all of the questions and the inquisitive nature I posses, I developed an obsession to figure this web thing out.
Over the last few years I have gained vast experience in HTML/CSS, Usability, Interface Design, SEO, and various content management system software. More recently I have entered into the development world in which I am playing with all kinds of fun code. Mainly Actionscript/Flash Development, PHP, JavaScript, and one time I played around with VB script, but I really have a dis-taste for Microsoft stuff.
Well more about me outside of Sharpdot… I am a vegetarian, love animals, love my MacBook Pro, am recently engaged, a cyclist, like yoga (sometimes), live in East Atlanta (and love it), am a musician, love history, sometimes I model, but I would rather eat on a regular basis.
