About the Designer
Robin Button first became interested in computers and technology in general in the early 1970's. Through independent study and work experience, she was able to experience first-hand how technology evolved over the years. This continues to be fascinating to her. She is basically self-taught and enjoys keeping up with website design and development best practices.
A Fulfilling Career at California State University, Fresno
From 1986 through 2001, Robin was employed as a Department Administrative Assistant for the Department of Criminology at California State University, Fresno. Throughout her career she voluntarily served on many task forces and committees, particularly those having to do with improving communication or technology. Eventually, she made the difficult decision to retire from her full-time position to pursue a career in freelance web design. Read more about her story on the Fresno State First Generation website.
In recent years, the University has called upon Robin to assist with various web projects. Four years ago, the University embarked upon a Clean Up The Web Campaign, a campus-wide initiative to update the University Web Standard as well as provide campus Web training and support. She developed pilot websites for the purpose of testing the web standard toolkit, a key component of the Campaign. Once the campaign was launched, she developed websites for key academic areas on campus utilizing the campus web standard resources, and provided support for those maintaining the websites.
