Originally from south central Kentucky, we moved to Nashville, Tennessee in 2010 for the tech not the twang. In 2023 we packed up and moved to Split, Croatia for a new adventure. After 18 wonderful months in the Adriatic we headed to our next adventure. Back in the states, we're now exploring New England from Providence, RI.
When I was the perfect age for glue sticks my dad let me help finish up the layout for the camera at his print shop. This early experience led me to join the high school yearbook for several of my high school years. I was hooked.
I went into marketing and print design. I've had thousands of my designs in print. The web was growing so I adapted. I became a web accessibility subject matter expert, speaking on the subject several times. I've helped upkeep over 150 websites & application in hands-on technical roles. I've built over 100 websites, over 90 of those I designed from scratch – some of them multiple times.
I have a passion for making the internet accessible for all. I want to help local businesses, non-profits, and communities get a web presence they control and own so they can multiply their abilities and extend their reach.

Aunt Ammi Reads The Tale of Peter Rabbit
For the first episode of this project, I wanted something short, something my nephew—whom I’ve never met in person—might enjoy, and something that captures the feeling of spring. Peter Rabbit by Beatrix Potter felt like the perfect choice. Her stories were some of my childhood favorites, and I’m sure I once read them to my brother. Now, from afar, I get to share them with his children too.Continue reading→

When people ask me where I'm from... “It was the Jim Crow south in the 1950s. Boy, we were fish out of water,” Carpenter says. “Everything I know about evil I learned in that small town of Bowling Green, Kentucky.” https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2026/jul/20/everything-i-know-about-evil-i-learned-in-that-small-town-john-carpenter-on-terrifying-the-world-with-halloween-the-thing-and-the-fog 1/2 View Original

This weekend we had the privilege of watching 2 amazing people marry themselves in Philadelphia. Kyle has been our friend for 20ish years, almost as long as we've known each other. We're so happy he found his perfect match in Lizzy. I've never been in a crowd of people with so much love for 2 people View Original

New haircut today. I'm so happy to have found Salon Bianco here in Providence. Not only do I get an amazing cut, but the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. #PVD #newhaircut View Original
My Christian Elementary School is in Bowling Green, KY. I (my husband, and my parents) attended WKU where Carpenters father taught. I actually grew up in a town just outside BG, which was smaller and my friends of color in BG would not come to my house. 2/2 View Original
