Your Designer

Geek in Residence

My name is Rachael E.C. Acklin, and I run the Caffeinated Design Studio and Caffeinated Hosting. I’m the CEO, which means Certified Awesome Overlord. Probably.

I have been geeking it up online since my first Juno email account back in the early 1990’s, and have been actively designing graphics and writing code for the web since 2001. I started freelancing as a designer in 2007, and opened my doors as a design studio in February 2008. I’ve recently formed an LLC, and regularly subcontract bits of the work here, because we’re just that awesomely busy!  My passion for all things web-related is only surpassed by my passion for my family, strong coffee, and a pile of good books.

In the time I spend away from designing awesome websites, I am homeschooling three of our four children, spending time doing amateur photography, helping my leather-working husband with his business, and accumulating many piles of half-folded laundry.

You can also find me blogging (leave me an awesome comment!) and Twittering (I always check my mentions and DMs).  I used to offer my email address here as well, but OMG SO MUCH EMAIL. It’s easier to find me on Twitter or my blog. ;)
