Mangoes, web design, and snowboarding.
Throw these three things in a blender and you get me. I'm Kristin Andrews DeRamus, a Washington, D.C.-based web designer with a knack for organization.
I run Refined Design & Consulting, LLC, which is a full-service web design studio catering to a variety of clients nationwide looking to improve their online presence or start fresh. When I'm not pumping out projects, I'm usually enjoying time with my dog, keeping up with the latest on Twitter, or tackling home-improvement projects.
