Marki (Marsha) Talley has an eagle eye that scans the big picture and dives into the important.
With a background that includes liberal arts, writing, coding and a zen-like simplicity, she approaches her work with a unique perspective and an understanding of what it's like to be a right-brained thinker in a technical world. She combines the practical with a flair of creativity, and reflects the unique personality of each business in her websites.
Her fascination with the way the human mind works led her to become MBTI qualified in 2002. Guess what her type is. :)
Indeed, when she's not working on her varied web projects, she's reading and learning more about how we all think and learn.
She also loves to watch birds. And she has found that birds are a lot like people!

"Marki is a great listener. She intuitively understood how to encourage me, and made helpful observations about what she saw me doing. When something went wrong recently and my fumbling around was getting me nowhere, she pulled up the site and gave a suggestion that turned out to be the clue to fixing the problem."
