Geek in the Forest

Geek in the Forest

Sue Chastain's personal site is Geek in the Forest.

Geek in the Forest is Sue's personal website, where she writes from her unique perspective about graphics, software, gadgets, technology, music, books, and rural life.

Background: Geek in the Forest was launched in 2012 to provide Sue an outlet for writing on topics other than graphics software (which she regularly covered on About.com), and to develop new skills with the latest online publishing technologies. It originated both as a fun project for personal fulfillment and a strategic action to expand Sue's online reach and readership.

About.com Graphics Software

Sue Chastain on About.com Graphics Software

Sue Chastain produced the About.com Graphics Software topic from 1999 - 2014.

Sue was the editor, overseer, and primary writer for the Graphics Software topic on About.com from 1999 to 2014. In this role she wrote, organized, and maintained the content, which included software reviews, software tutorials, graphics elements, and informational articles. During her 15 years with About.com, she produced thousands of articles and tutorials. Because the graphics software topic was not tied to a specific brand or title of software, Sue developed a unique and unbiased perspective toward software and technology.

She also established and nurtured a friendly online community in the graphics software discussion forum. In addition, Sue managed a group of contributing writers for the graphics software site. Sue trained her contributors, issued writing assignments, edited, and published the work of the contributing writers.

Due to Sue's dedication and experience, Graphics Software was consistently in the top five percent of topics on the About.com network.

Note from Sue: Although I worked for 1.5 decades to ensure the highest quality and accuracy of all Graphics Software content on About.com, I no longer have control over this content. Therefore, articles and/or images that I originally wrote/created/edited/published on that site may have been altered without my consent or knowledge, and may not currently represent my intent and high standards of quality.

Education

Sue has an Associate of Science degree in Interior Design Technology. While studying interior design, she developed an interest in software, graphics, and web design. Sue found that much of her interior design training could be applied creatively to graphics and design. She ultimately chose to follow these areas of interest independently rather than going into the Interior Design field--a choice that has led to a great deal of fulfillment in her career and lifestyle.
