Description

Heather's been converting coffee to code since 1997—now she makes the code output cash for her customers.

After almost a decade of marketing in a corporate setting, she tired of being a corporate cog and decided to go it alone, bootstrapping a business based on one simple principle: Partnership. Armed with an Apple computer and head full of marketing know-how, she built Blue Steele Solutions to help small businesses market themselves and grow in ways they didn't think possible. But that doesn't mean she has to leave her coding, design, or writing days behind—when she isn't building out CRMs or getting her hands dirty in a new Genesis theme, you might find her writing a blog post about the management or watching reruns of The Office.

When she's not moderating questions on WordPress Facebook groups, Heather hangs out at Disney World, kills old flash applications, and builds functions when she's bored.
