"So many of our dreams at first seem impossible, then they seem improbable, and then, when we summon the will, they soon become inevitable."

- Christopher Reeve

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."

- Mark Twain

"Without leaps of imagination, or dreaming, we lose the excitement of possibilities. Dreaming, after all, is a form of planning."

- Gloria Steinem

"The world needs dreamers and the world needs doers. But above all, the world needs dreamers who do."

- Sarah Ban Breathnach

Manuela Lorenzi-Kayser

I'm a web designer and developer who grew up in Italy and learned early on to love art in all its expressions, while always being curious about how things worked.

Art Background

I studied art history in Milan, Italy before moving to Massachusetts, where I earned a BA in Studio Arts and won the 1990 Fine Art Award by Binney & Smith. The understanding I gained about the principles of design and color theory are fully applicable to web design, which is a form of art in itself. Over the years I created logos, brochures, posters, and book covers, honing my skills with Photoshop.

Technology Background

After obtaining a MS in Engineering at UC Santa Barbara, CA, I spent many years working as a scientific programmer, developing hundreds of applications designed to process satellite data. I was one of the first people in my research team who, in the mid 90's, created a website to serve as an archive interface for the thousands of images I produced.

Blending the Two Fields: Website Creation

As website creation became a more focused endeavor for me, I went back to school and became a Certified Web Developer. With the acquired in-depth knowledge of html, css, javascript, php, and Wordpress I craft increasingly sophisticated websites. I also teach Web Development and Art Appreciation at York County Community College in Wells, Maine.
