Born and raised on Long Island, I moved to Rome, Italy in September 1996 - where I still live today. I have a husband (who loves me) and a cat (who hates me). By day, by night, on weekends come snow hail sleet or rain (etc) I manage a web start up, PassPack.
I rarely sleep.
I don't have a cell phone. It's a lifestyle choice.
I'm a co-founder of PassPack, a free, secure online password manager (shameless plug). If you haven't tried it yet - hop to it!
Among my responsibilities: Design and Usability, copy writing, running the blog, posting news on twitter, fielding support questions and general miracle working.
I have a formal design degree from RISD and worked in web design for ... oh, ten years or so.
My ex company, Katytid kept the bills paid... and is now closed. (how liberating!). I now dedicate full time to PassPack
I had big ideas about writing a novel. But then bigger ideas about PassPack came along and all I managed to squeak out was this short story:
Driving Lesson Thanks to Whitney at Pindeldyboz for being fantastic and patient.
* US callers: this phone number forwards to my home in Italy. You'll only be charged for a normal call - forwarding is free. Also, please note the time difference, as a phone ringing at three in the morning sends my adrenaline skyrocketing.
I can recite the entire first episode of Star Wars in a chipmunk voice - even Vader (darthmatic chipmunk?).
