JamieBEE

My name is Jamie Lea Braithwaite. Allow me to introduce my digital persona, JamieBEE.

I started my graphic design career at the age of 7 making birthday cards, posters, and fliers on our Apple IIe and dot-matrix printer.

My personal and professional portfolio have seen many upgrades since those early days. As a graduate from Brigham Young University’s Technology Education program, I was able to embrace my dream of becoming a true über nerd. I taught Flash Development at BYU in the Technology Teacher Education Department and Computer Foundation Courses, Microsoft Office Applications, Graphic Design, and Web Development in the BYU Office of IT Training. I am currently the Las Vegas Adobe Photoshop User Group Manager and volunteer my time to help the community learn new skills.

My love for technology does not end at my professional life. I have added a few updates to my personal software. Garth, My Renaissance Man, is a perfect partner in techno-crime and together we understand the art and science of the technology world. Since our union in 2003 (famBEE in beta), we’ve downloaded three adorable upgrades, Gracie (v1.0), Ainlsley (v2.0), and Emiline (v3.0). Our kids have no chance of life unconnected from a keypad and harddrive. Their entire lives are documented for future generations and when most children imagine a cute furry creature with a minute squeak, our kids only see the infrared laser and scroll wheel atop the mouse pad.

Garth and I run our own Graphic Design & Web Development businesses: G & J Design, LLC and MediaBlacksmith, LLC. For a sneak peek at my current projects, product reviews, and tutorials, and so much more visit one of my many blogs on JamieBEE.com. For everything you didn’t know you needed to know about the techno-geek world, and for super cool and useful tutorials, visit Garth’s website at garthdb.com.

Or, for an entertaining, up-to-date, (almost live action) look at real life in the famBEE Renaissance Home, visit our family blog at famBEE.org.

You can also find me on Blogger, FaceBook, LinkedIN, MySpace, and GoogleTalk.
