Cara Peckens is a successful technologist and graphic designer. For the past 5 years, Cara has been immersed in the digital music space and has co-founded the internet properties LiveMusicMachine.com and MySpace360Wizard.com with her business partner David A. Sherbow.
Functioning as CTO (Chief Technical Officer) and Creative Director at the age of 22, Cara was forced to learn and adapt quickly. In a start-up environment, it is essential to be on the cutting-edge at all times, and to be conversant in current and emerging technologies and services. Through her education and work experience Cara has become skilled in a variety of programs, languages, technologies, and strategies including: HTML, CSS, Javascript, PHP, XML, Actionscript, Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash, Premiere, various CMS, and more. Cara is a jack-of-all-trades and is always willing to learn or teach herself the tools to execute the right solution. |
Cara graduated with honors from Goucher College in Baltimore, MD with a BA in Media Studies & Women’s Studies. Before taking a leave of absence to work fulltime on LiveMusicMachine, Cara finished her first year at the top of her class at the University of Denver’s prestigious Masters Program in Digital Media.
Cara believes that graphic design and web development are more than just providing great design or great code. Every design or development project starts with a problem, and her job is to provide the innovative solution. She believes that it is important to take the mystery out of technology, and provide artists with not only the image/brand they desire, but also the tools to maintain that image/brand as they move forward. It is this philosophy that has led her to make education a huge priority while working with artists.
