about Glerin, web designers in South Boston, Virginia

We're proving that great design lives in America's smallest towns.

Our people are just like your people. We’re mothers and daughters, sons and brothers. We’re bilingual, and we’re cross-trained. We’re bookworms, movie-goers, and tv junkies. We’re entrepreneurs with interwoven careers. We're on the FBI's Most Wanted List. (Just checking to make sure you're paying attention.) Some of us are young and some of us are seasoned, but we’re all youthful. We have attitudes and experience, and thrive on continual learning.

We’re one cohesive team ready to partner with you.

A recovered accountant, she provides a unique combination of experience in business, design, and technology. She was on the Board of Directors of the IDA of Halifax County for 4.5 years. As a child her dad said if she didn't stop talking in weird voices she wouldn't be able to. He was right.
