about me
Hey there!
Hey, I’m Jovi!
An experienced writer, web designer, WordPress geek, graphic design nerd, and just generally a pretty JOVIal human (see what I did there?!).
From Word Docs to WordPress:
I’ve been writing for public audiences for more than 15 years. I started as a spoken word artist based out of Sacramento, which eventually landed me a gig as a live radio show host and news journalist. I’ve done freelance work in both prose and poetry, and most recently I’ve ventured into the world of tech writing. The first website I designed was my own in 2008; as a performing artist, having a user-friendly and aesthetically pleasing website was an absolute must. Since then, I’ve designed a variety of different sites for a wide range of clients and I’ve had a blast with every single one!

Did you know that more than 30% of all websites today are built using WordPress?! There’s a good reason for that, it’s the most user-friendly CMS (Content Management System) to work with.

I have been a writer for hire for more than 15 years now. I have specialized in tech documentation, AP journalism, op-ed journalism, special event poetry, copy-writing, and content development.
Graphic Design
I do all of the pretty things: business cards, letterheads,
flyers, social media collateral, posters, stickers, and so much more!
Divi Theme
Divi is the leading premium theme for WordPress and I’ve been using it to build websites on a near exclusive basis since its inception.
