Lisa J. Thurin, Webmistress
Angel's Designs was founded by myself
around October of 1997. I had a vision, a dream that I could create websites and
make a career out of it. As of June 1998, I left the corporate rat race, and my
time is now being solely spent on the Internet with allot of web work and some
other fun things! For the last 10 years I have been designing sites on a part
time basis, while doing my full time job day and night... very busy! But just
so you can see what my background is, 
I have my resume below for your review.
The important part to remember is that I picked up my first computer manual in
1984, and taught myself every program that I know. So though I don't have any
formal education in Computers, I have plenty of experience and continue to learn
every day. My full time job is on the ProTeam at World Bingo Network. I worked
with them before BK and now am back! I have been involved in online gaming (bingo/casino)
since July of 99 and I totally love it!!
In October of 1996, I designed my first website, it was for my personal use. I bought a book and started to learn HTML. My site was the perfect place to practice and learn. Since then I have created commercial and personal sites for people and companies. (You can see a few of them on my sample page). I enjoy being creative (my Masters Degree helped me with that!) and am very particular about my work. My high standards are what have made me so successful thus far.
As for me personally, I am 45 years old, been married since 1998, and have 2 wonderful boys. They are the main reason I wanted to stay home and work, boys need lots of attention! So this has worked out very well. I enjoy Golf, reading, online bingo gardening and of course my computer!!! After 14 years of working my way up the corporate ladder, it's nice to be able to do something I like, be my own boss(some of the time LOL), set my own hours for the most part, work in my jammies if I feel like it and enjoy my family at the same time!. You can read all about my education and work background below if you are interested.
Thanks for taking the time to visit my site and wanting to learn more about me. I can guarantee you that I work hard, I am honest, and will fulfill your every webdesign fantasy. I am easy to work with, and really love what I do. Peace!
