WDS Welcomes Will Schmierer!

WebDevStudios is proud to announce one of our newest Front-End Developers, Will Schmierer!

Will fell in love with the web in the early 1990’s, in the old dial-up AOL days. After high school, he decided to leave the Jersey Shore for the University of Miami, pursuing a degree in Architecture. It was at this time he began to learn more about design principles, and was fascinated about emerging technologies like AutoCad, Photoshop, 3D Studio Max, Flash and the web.

After graduating early from the U in 2005, he worked in the architectural profession for several years before transitioning to web design and development with WordPress full time in 2010. He was drawn to WordPress because of the awesome community and the amazing flexibility of the software. A lot of what he learned about design during and after college made the transition to website designer/developer a smooth one and he thanks WordPress for changing his career in a positive way.

When Will’s hands are not on the keyboard, they are likely signing ASL (American Sign Language) to his beautiful wife, Francisca. Together they spend most of their free time with their daughter, Ali and newborn son, Will the 4th. Will also enjoys learning, traveling, sports, comedy and is a self proclaimed expert in assembling Ikea furniture.

We’re excited to see what Will is going to bring to the WDS table and you can follow him on Twitter!
