Meet the Genesis Developers: Part Three

Brian Gardner on August 3, 2011

Are you looking to have your site built on the Genesis Framework? Have you had a chance to see all of the amazing sites built with it? If not, take some time to check out the Theme Showcase, and you’ll see just how powerful Genesis can be.

At StudioPress, we believe in giving credit where it’s due. Genesis serves as the foundation of more than 250,000 sites, and we’d like to show you who’s behind some of the best designed sites on the internet. Below you will meet 3 very talented people – whom we consider friends and are among the Genesis Developers we recommend that are available for hire.

Jennifer Baumann, Dream Whisper Designs

Dream Whisper DesignsI am a longtime StudioPress addict and founder of Dream Whisper Designs, based in northeast Pennsylvania. I am also an avid horseback rider and creature mom, and I love creating beautiful, yet functional websites. Always a creative type, I initially failed to follow my heart and instincts. Fortunately, my now dusty Master’s Degree has been supplanted by an undying passion for creative websites and blogs built on the Genesis Framework for WordPress. I’ve been around since the days of the Revolution theme.

I’m thrilled to be a part of the StudioPress community and even more thrilled to be able to offer my clients designs that reflect their vision built on the best framework around.

Jesse Petersen, Petersen Media Group

Jesse PetersenCustomer service. Customer experience. Long-term client/designer relationships. These are the things that I wanted to bring to the industry when I formed Petersen Media Group in 2009 after seeing hundreds of people struggling to make their site something to be proud of, even though they were using premium themes. I consider my work a craft and my clients as friends whom I get to know in order to best serve them and their customers. I work mostly with well-known experts in their fields due to word-of-mouth referrals.

However, I feel that no one is too small to have my full attention – it’s what everyone deserves. I don’t farm out work to others because that loses the personal touch that is expected when someone chooses to work with me.

Lauren Mancke, Northbound Design

Northbound DesignI am a Creative Professional living and working in Columbia, South Carolina. Having worked with Brian Gardner for many years now and having been involved with many StudioPress themes, I build everything I can on the Genesis Framework. Its flexibility, along with the collaborative nature of the community allows us to give our clients exactly what they need. Working with my husband and the rest of our talented team couldn’t be more enjoyable and I look forward to taking on more work.

Since founding Northbound Design, a full service media company that specializes in design and development as well as WordPress themes and consulting, I have clients located all over the world. I just love to create.
