WEB PRODUCTION TEAM

Katy Atkinson
Web Production Assistant

Katy AtkinsonLondon-born Katy Atkinson studied at England's Architectural Association before moving to the States and graduating from UC-Davis with a B.S. in Design. Her interest in Web Design was whetted while working for Medamerica as their Graphic Designer. She turned her focus to developing and expanding her skills in HTML, JavaScript and DHTML specializing in the translation of designs, specked out on paper, into HTML for Web presentation. At Epoch Partners, Katy's job has evolved from HTML production to graphics master: she was instrumental in the re-design, re-development and implementation of the Epoch.com website. Highlights: Creation of the multimedia center, Schwab integration pages, and tag-teaming to build a site search.

Katy's family lives in San Francisco but the area appeals to her because of its diversity, culture and, she says, "Because it's the center of web development in the world right now." When not pursuing her passions in Web Architecture, Katy likes to conceptualize and build furniture while keeping her hand in industrial design projects. She enjoys participating in competitive sports -- tennis and soccer -- as well as doing volunteer work building sets for the Brava! Theater company.

Joe Casserly
Web Production Assistant

Joe CasserlyJoe Casserly grew up in South Jersey with a bedroom window view of Philadelphia. After studies at the University of Hartford and Temple University, he landed in San Francisco in 1979. "I knew I was home the minute I was hit by the San Francisco air and saw the skyline," he says. What followed was a 14-year career with Just Desserts.

For two years he was office manager for an architectural firm that, among other things, designs Oracle's offices worldwide. The real estate boom of the '90s tempted him to try his hand at sales. He gave it a couple of years, then moved on. After polishing and expanding his computer skills, Joe signed on with Epoch Partners, where he played a major role in developing the bank's sophisticated and widely praised website.

Joe devotes much of his free time to his 10+ year relationship with his partner, artist Brett Kaufman. He likes birding and has been known to play a ukulele.
