“My full-time job is graphic design and marketing at a nonprofit that works with manufacturers in New York State. We help small businesses that are manufacturing and technology related grow and develop their businesses. I went to a four-year college for graphic design, and I’ve been doing that since graduation.”

I’ll do updates on a WordPress site that has WP Bakery, Elementor, and drag-and-drop builders.
