The principals of bytes & words are Mollie and Joseph McCormick. At the most basic level, Mollie is a writer and Joseph is an artist. The result is a healthy balance of capabilities and a battle for left- v. right-brain dominance that delivers creative, well-managed solutions for clients. Read on for the official, professional word on Mollie and Joseph.

Mollie R. McCormick, Principal

Mollie is a veteran of Scientific, Technical, and Medical (STM) publishing, from its traditional roots in print through the desktop and Internet revolutions. With her editorial/production skills and technical know-how, she transitioned easily to managing large-scale content and product development for multimedia concerns. A hands-on manager for over 22 years, Mollie has worked alongside designers, programmers, writers, editors, and content experts through all phases of development — and learned from them all.

Through bytes & words, Mollie continues to reinforce and build on her expertise. Recent or ongoing projects include instructional design, web development, and relationship (email) marketing. Because of her technical background and relentless attention to detail, she is both feared and sought out for QA of multimedia and web projects. She has been certified as a Business Partner with Constant Contact since 2007, affording the opportunity to help clients build and maintain customer relationships and communication networks that drive website traffic to new heights.

A calm, creative force with a flexible skill set, Joseph may on any given day juggle design for web sites, corporate branding, exhibit design, or newsletters and brochures. Though practically blind without glasses, he has a keen eye for color and printing within budget. More about capabilities...
