Kirsten Starcher is an independent contractor at outside in the sun productions (http://www.outsideinthesun.com). She began her online career in New York during the dot-com boom, and since then has been involved in just about every aspect of web design, development, and content creation, plus a short diversion playing bass in a touring rock band. Over the past five years her appreciation for WordPress and its community has grown steadily, and she has surprised herself discovering how much she enjoys front-end web development.
