Who We Are
Natalie MacLees – Founder/Front-end developer/UI Designer
natalie@purplepen.com | @nataliemac
Natalie has been designing and building web sites since 1997. Easily bored by repetitive jobs, she finds the constant change and innovation on the web exciting and is driven to learn as much as possible about emerging technologies and solutions. She is a passionate advocate of both usability and accessibility, and believes that the true potential of the internet will not be fully realized until all information is readily available to everyone.
