Skill
Professional Strengths
I am a creative self-starter with excellent organizational skills and hands-on technical knowledge, combined with an eye for detail, and a strong work ethic.I take pride in my ability to take a deadline or large project and break it into a series of manageable - well designed - tasks. Doing so makes the job at hand move quicker and more efficiently, plus I'm one of those oddball's that loves to check things off her to-do list. That check mark, and the excitement from clients for finishing a deadline early brings a smile to my face.

Testimonials
Jennifer Braun
Executive Director, International Midwife Assistance
As a new business owner, Terri made the process for my website design and logo simple. She was responsive, timely, and creative. She delivered exactly what I wanted in a website and logo. We are located in different states and it was as if we were meeting in the office bringing the visions for my company to life. I highly recommend Terri and I plan on continuing to use her services.

Terri McAllister is one of the most talented, competent, and easy to work with professionals I've ever had the pleasure to do business with. We asked Terri to take on the monumental task of designing and building a website with a storefront, in a very short amount of time. Terri had no problem meeting our deadlines and delivered us the website we wanted. The entire time, she was able to educate me and my staff on the inner workings of the site so that we can now understand and utilize its features. I recommend Terri for any web development and design work. She's what we call in the biz, 'super-pro.'
Terri is the best. She is talented and thoughtful. She brings everything we need to a project. Every time I embark on a task needing art – a logo, an invitation, or our big annual newsletter – I feel grateful to know Terri. I recommend her highly.
