About Me In short, I am awesome.
My name is Jessica Sideways (seriously) and I am a web design student at the Art Institute of Colorado. I am working to become a professional web designer and this is my professional website.

Professional Life
I am currently a student at the Art Institute of Colorado and I am pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in Web Design & Interactive Media. I intend to graduate in late 2014.
My degree program integrates a number of courses that not only go deep into web design but also touches on topics pertinent to graphic design, photography, print production and audio production. You can see my best coursework from each class in my portfolio.
You can find me on designer communities, such as Behance, Colour Lovers and DeviantArt. However, I am looking at trying to score a "draft" from Dribbble, here's my Dribbble profile.
Credit Where Credit Is Due

Personal Life
I live in beautiful Boulder, Colorado and have since 2007. I also blog over at Not My Pony, a blog I maintain about technology, design and art. I am currently a baptised member of Ecclesia Gnostica Catholica and an initiate member of Ordo Templi Orientis.
I have been blogging since 2003, when I started on the Blogger platform. Once I started going a bit more professional, I started using the WordPress blogging platform and have been working with the WordPress platform since 2004. The awesome thing about maintaining a blog is that I get a lot of experience in writing copy. Sometimes, I go back and look like those old posts from 2003 and look at how I write now and think of how far I have come. While it is fun to use Samuel L. Lipsum, sometimes that is just inappropriate for the purposes of a client proof.
