Gertie
Lead Web Designer
Gertie likes to wake up to over-easy eggs with jalapeño peppers and Organo Gold coffee with cinnamon and Trader Joe's Coconut Creamer. Gertie has been building websites since the late 90s. She understands the importance of being able to zig when the Internet zags. She wakes up websites by organizing information in a way that forces viewers to engage with and remember the content. Wake-up moments: In my Junior year of high school I realized that I could get started on life early. Professors couldn't possibly know enough about this New Fangled Internet to teach about it. I got out of school and started building websites. I have to teach myself EVERY day to keep up with the web's pace! |

He also has a background in real estate, lending, and sales management. Wake-up moments: Larry worked with banks during the 2008 crisis, to find and repair severe financial problems. This included working directly with customers to negotiate solutions to save their homes. Larry brings these skills to Waking Girl clients who may need creative ideas to survive the changing economy. |

Maintenance
Jasper eats literally anything he can find for breakfast. He wakes websites up by writing SEO blog articles, troubleshooting technical issues, and finding the most efficient processes for complex, repetitive projects. He also keeps the team thinking young. Wake-up moment: Watching a close family member staying stuck in the same place of unhappiness after many years showed Jasper that he had to make a decision to have a positive attitude and then work hard to make life happen for him instead of to him. |
