Meet the WebSight Design Team: Vanessa Thomas
As a part of the WebSight Design team for about a year and a half, Vanessa is our project manager for high-end engineering work. Almost every project we get goes through her hands. It is her job to keep track of hours and budgeting and make sure we reach, and exceed, functionality expectations.
What work at WSD are you most proud of?
All our launches! Every time we launch a new site it feels like sending my kids out into the world – anxious and proud 
. We do awesome development work here and it is always a great feeling to see a completely custom project go live.
What is the best part about working at WSD?
The team for sure. The people that work here are an excellent team. They all have strengths that contribute to a well-rounded, butt-kicking group
What cool project are you working on right now?
We just launched Smartmeetings.com, which was a huge project because it was the roll out of our WSD framework 1.5. We made big strides in the flexibility of our admin for that site. I am very proud to launch that one.
Film Connection is the next big project out the door. This one also uses the new 1.5 framework, but is a 100% expandable page manager, complete with mouse-over image control and drag and drop page sorting. It’s really cool!
If you weren’t working at WSD, what other kind of work would you be doing?
Wishing I worked at WSD, haha. No honestly, I love this job. I couldn’t imagine working anywhere else.
What is your hometown?
Born in San Francisco, raised in Marin. I will always be a California girl.
What is your educational background?
I started off college as a marketing major, but I ended up graduating with a degree in programming. I think it helps my niche of client services vs programmer logic
What do you like doing outside of work?
I am a huge video game buff so I spend most of my time playing games. I love RPGs, adventure games and platformers the most, but I will play the occasional shooter.
If I am not playing video games, I am usually watching different anime series or going out to a movie.
Where is your favorite place that you have traveled to?
I loved going to Thailand the most. The country is so beautiful and the sales are amazing!
Mac or PC?
Haha, do you even need to ask? PC all the way! Pfft on Steam for Mac, I still got the lock down on 90% of the games market.
Do you have a favorite quotation? If so, what is it?
“Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I’m not sure about the former.” -Albert Einstein
