Meet Cami
Running a business as a solopreneur for over 20 years has taught me a lot
Since 2002, I've been operating my web design business from my home office in Seattle, Washington, focusing mainly on small businesses and nonprofits. My local community is my primary focus, but thanks to referrals, I've had the opportunity to work with clients across the United States.
I have crafted more than 600 websites since 2002 and actively manage over 200 under my care plan service.
Networking has been a pivotal aspect of my professional journey. My 12 years with BNI and ongoing involvement in my local chamber of commerce have taught me the immense value of building connections. This understanding also extends to the WordPress Community, where I actively engage and collaborate, recognizing that networking within this community is just as crucial for growth and success.
I contributed to the GoDaddy Pro Advisory panel, a group of international web designers, from 2017-2023. This led to my role as the first GoDaddy Pro ambassador. I attended WCUS Nashville in 2018 and WCUS St. Louis in 2019 as part of the GoDaddy team. I also participated in an internal GoDaddy Roadshow, visiting their locations in Arizona and Iowa and meeting hundreds of GoDaddy employees.

With GoDaddy, I had the chance to present in webinars and work in virtual booths during the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2023, I overcame my fear of public speaking, joining the ranks of speakers I've long admired at WordCamp Phoenix and Vancouver and presenting at my local chamber of commerce.
I've been a regular at WordCamp Seattle since 2013, volunteering in the community and co-hosting the WordPress Fundamentals Meetup from 2018 to 2023. While taking a break from volunteering, I plan to reengage with my local WP community soon.
I'm excited to welcome you to the WebCami Cafe and invite you to join my Facebook group. Started in 2018 to connect with other GoDaddy Pro advisory panel members, it has grown into a supportive and dynamic community.
