About Me

Creativity + Technology = Slightly Geeky

I guess I can’t leave this part blank can I? Hello, my name is Pam and I’m a geek. You probably wouldn’t know it to look at me (BTW, I would totally rock pocket protecters & taped eye-glasses), but I spend more time in front of my computer than should be legal. I work from my home studio (crazy long commute) in Bedford Nova Scotia, live in my lululemons and I admit I am THAT girl that walks the dog & drives the kids to school in her PJ’s.

I’ve been designing + building websites for over 10 years and I can’t imagine doing anything else for a living (until I win the lottery of course). I believe in creating an online experience that is clean & professional with an emphasis on usability. When I’m not at my computer, you might find me buying shoes or hiding from the kids in my bathroom with a glass (bottle) of wine.

Suzanne Millette, Owner, Garnish
“As a small e-commerce business, our online identity is everything. Garnish could not be in better hands than those of Pam at Dotsimple Inc.. Her talent is beyond words and she has the wonderful ability to take a vision and make it a reality. Pam’s understanding of a website’s functionality from a marketing standpoint has helped Garnish to increase it’s customer base and revenues. With her strong communication skills, it is almost as if she is in the office with us. Pam is always quick to respond to emails (and at times we send more than our fair share!) and utilizes technology to clearly explain all the goings-on. And besides all of her impeccable capabilities, Pam is so much fun to work with. Because after all, if you’re not having fun at work, then why do it?!”
Alicia MacDonald, Principal, Halifax Dance
“As it was time for Halifax Dance to rediscover our image and branding, we need a designer who was able to fully grasp what it was that we trying to portray. After our initial meeting, Pam was able to identify not only our technological needs but also immediately captivated the art, persona and life of our organization. Pam gave us a gift that will undoubtedly effect enormous positive change on our organization. We could not be more thrilled with our website –absolutely love it actually! She is friendly, funny, artistic, brainy, extremely hard working and efficient…hard to come by these days!!”
Dr. van Aardt, Cosmetic Medical & Clinical Skin Care Spa
“What I needed was someone that understood what I needed and how my business could be best represented online. No wasted time, no run-arounds or excuses. It got done right and in time, first time! As my needs change, so new ideas and creative transition follow and the results are underlined by the bottom line. So glad I went with dotsimple!”
Devin Sherrington, 360Fit
“When I wanted a new design for our website I had no clear idea in mind for what it should look like. I gave Pam the very basic of the way I wanted it laid out and what she came up with looked better than I could have imagined! It’s super functional And looks amazing! I get complements on it all the time!”
