about

Hi there! My name is Heather ‘Violet’ Jones, and I own and operate Viva la Violette. I started Viva la Violette in 2008, and have since expanded my business to offer unique blog  and web design services. I have previously designed for photographers, interior designers, event planners, news reporters, novelists, bloggers and other small business owners. I would define my style as feminine and chic with a touch of whimsy.

Since I was in my late teens, I knew that I wanted to be a web designer. When I started college there was not yet a curriculum available, so I started building websites in my spare time. I switched between Graphic Design, Interior Design, ISDS, back to Graphic Design, and eventually switched colleges. I graduated in 2005 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Visual Arts- Computer Animation, and I am continuing my education to keep up with the new web standards and responsive design techniques.

Before Viva la Violette was created, I worked as an artist at a casual video game company for three years. Although I sometimes miss having my hand in the art of video games, I am finally living my dream- and loving every minute of it! I have now been designing and creating websites for twelve years. The best part of this journey is that I get to work from home and watch my son grow up, and for that I am truly grateful.

In my (very limited) spare time, I enjoy spending time with my best friend/hubby, Chris, and our son, Dax,  playing video games, blogging, and curling up with my Nook.  Some of my other favorites are: Alice in Wonderland, letterpress, glitter, water slides, iced coffee, chicken fried rice, and pasta.

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by my blog, and read this little story about me.
