Talk to Dee about your project
A little background
Technical experience.
Human perspective.
Dee’s technical background includes infrastructure and network engineering, healthcare IT, account workflows, vendor coordination, and user support. Her work has involved Cisco Catalyst, Nexus, and Meraki environments, Palo Alto firewalls, VMware, and Active Directory.
She also brings experience in strategic planning and mission support for tactical space operations, including technical coordination, contingency response, and documentation.
On the other side of the screen.
In 2024, Dee was the Democratic nominee for South Carolina Senate District 24. Running that campaign meant managing messaging, scheduling, voter outreach, volunteers, vendors, compliance deadlines, and public communication.
That experience helped shape Ladybug. Small teams need information they can find, tools they can understand, and a clear next step—especially when time and resources are limited.
Bringing that experience to your website.
Ladybug’s web design work brings those practical concerns to small businesses, organizations, individuals, and campaigns. The aim is a website that tells your story clearly and helps visitors do what they came to do.
You’ll work directly with Dee to discuss your goals, review the design, and plan the details of your site.
