Anne Djupedal (pronounced “Ana”), graphic designer and website programmer
Quality design and presentation of information in print and on the computer screen has been Anne’s mission since her start as a computer programmer in 1982. She brings experience and a diverse set of skills to her work as a website and logo designer, HTML programmer and copy editor/writer.
After receiving a BFA in music, language and visual arts, Anne studied computer programming at NYU and spent nearly eight years as a software developer/analyst for Drexel Burnham Lambert. She has written and edited a variety of texts, from promotional literature and software how-to manuals to educational materials, and has served as instructor in a series of classes to help “computer challenged” individuals feel comfortable using the Windows environment. In addition to Anne’s website/graphic design work, she also continues to tutor clients on a range of PC software packages.
About designing for today’s business, Anne says, “A stable, robust Web presence is the right thing for any business or not-for-profit because nothing stands in the way of your audience – they can visit your website day or night whenever the interest strikes. And then when they visit, you want your website design to be top-notch in terms of appearance, organization and functionality. Folks tend to stay and look around when you have an attractive, interesting website that responds quickly and is in line with your brand. When your website is clear and consistent, well-organized and easy-to-navigate, you’ve removed the obstacles to an enjoyable visit because you’ve made it easy for them to find what they want. And when your website supports the right functions – from describing your business or organization to letting customers know how to reach you and/or purchase your services – you can improve your name recognition and your bottom line. Everyone benefits, everyone wins.”
Anne has a BFA Cum Laude from the University of Akron, Akron, Ohio;
A degree in music and art from Voss Folkehøgskule in Voss, Norway; and
Certification in Computer Programming and Design from New York University.
