Elaine Griffin

Between Ithaca and Cortland, NY

I am Elaine, also known as Laine (Lay-nee), and my derby name, Crazy Eyeris. I'm a fresh meat derby girl, mother, wife, and WordPress designer. I spend my days juggling kids and work, making plans and making lists, and contemplating what it’s like to be an organized disaster.

I am frequently spotted dancing to music in grocery store aisles and to Weather Channel muzac at home. Word.

I like wine, cooking, autumn, Christmas, birthdays, and watching my kids when they don’t realize it. I have an extensive collection of black clothing and can’t seem to buy colors. No I am not in mourning. I just like black, it’s slimming.

Prior to starting my business, Elaine Griffin Designs, I was a stay at home mother and owner of a handmade clothing business. My love of graphic and web design was born out of this business, while I was working with the designer of my site. Many books, tutorials and hundreds of practicing hours later, here I am, doing something that I absolutely love.

This, combined with my background in sociology gives me a unique perspective that allows me to relate to my clients on a personal level, teach them how to use their sites, and ease their fears.

Plus, I just rock! And so do you, so thanks for stopping by!
