About - Wander Fawn

In case you missed it, I’m Emily. My dad claims I’m named after either Emily Dickinson or the title character in A Rose For Emily. I’m a bisexual unmarried woman who writes poetry so, yeah, makes sense.

I’ve been creating websites since I was 13 years old, and I’m absolutely giving my age away when I tell you my first one was on Geocities. I’ve gone from animated gifs and typing in alternating caps to working professionally in digital marketing and social media management. Teenage me would be pretty psyched.

I was born, mostly raised, and currently still live in Memphis, Tennessee. My apartment is in a former hospital, where I live with my cats Milo and Eleanor and (hopefully?) no ghosts.

Anything strawberry (decor, clothing, the actual fruit!), traveling (especially road trips), tattoos, boots and colorful shoes, Chicago, the desert, deer (I’ve been collecting deer figurines since I was in my 20s), interior decorating, mid-century modern, ghost stories and the supernatural, analog photography, really anything related to real estate (architecture, old houses, browsing on Zillow for hours upon hours for my dream home), daisies, The Menzingers, Drew Barrymore (she has been my favorite actress/celebrity since I was about 12, and if I ever got to meet her, I’m pretty sure I would faint), thrifting and vintage stores, brunch (Bloody Mary over a mimosa, please!), Best Coast, rompers/jumpsuits, the sounds of a Southern summer (not the humidity, though, oof)

How long have you been blogging?

I started my first “blogs” back in the mid-90s by copying and pasting HTML into new pages on Tripod and Angelfire. I moved onto Diaryland, other journal sites, and eventually Livejournal. I’ve used Wordpress for my blogs on and off for something like 15 years.

Can I hire you to help me with my social media/website/whatever?

What is your job history with digital marketing/social media/etc.?

I started creating Wordpress themes and various graphics for sale back in 2007-ish. (Prior to that, I had a Livejournal account where I shared graphics and layouts to about 100k followers.)

In 2017, I began creating marketing and social media assets for my then-employer. I did various marketing and social media management for several employers until 2019, when I was hired as a full-time copywriter and community manager for a large food blog. I was trained heavily in SEO (attending an SEO bootcamp in Austin, TX) and social media management. I am now a full-time marketing manager focusing on social media management, website creation and management, copywriting for SEO, and creating all marketing materials for my company.

What do you use to create your website/graphics/etc.?

I built the theme for this site using Elementor Pro. Graphics, photos, and other images are created and edited in a combination of Photoshop, Lightroom, and Canva.

Photography is primarily shot on a combination of my iPhone and a Canon Mark, with the occasional photo taken on a Diana, Holga, or Kodak Printomatic.
