Susan has been CWB’s website advisor since 2013, when two board members contacted her because something was broken.  Ever since, she’s been working to make the web presentation of the wonderful work of CWB ever more user-friendly, discoverable, and beautiful.  Susan is mostly self-taught in web development, but she holds a degree in music performance from Portland State University and most of a degree in fine art (which, as she will attest, are related skills). She is an avid gardener and lives in Milwaukie, Oregon. You can see more of Susan’s work at collagecreative.net.
