Staci Brillhart

Head Honcho/Graphic Designer/Website Guru

A stay at home mom in Southern California, owner and independent designer Staci Brillhart has been cranking out hip, boutique web designs since 2004. It all began with the birth of her first child and the necessity for funky-cool baby gear on a shoe-string budget. She saw fun baby stuff in magazines and boutiques and would think to herself...'I could do that'!

They say that necessity is the mother of invention--and it proved true for Staci. She dusted off her machine and got to it--the beginnings of what became her boutique - MyBabyMonkey.com.

So now she had the goodies, but how to sell them? She had to get a site together and did, but it was awful! So she taught herself html and how to use Photo and Web creating software and now is creating fun, original sites like you see here.

It's through all of this experience that she's able to not only advise you, but to build a site with style and function, as well as set you up for success so that by the time she's through with you, you'll be a pro too.

V-Team

Programming

In 1972 a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as coders of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire the V-Team.

Parrish Walsh

Graphics Assistant/Creative Genius

Parrish dreamed of being an artist as a child and followed her passion by getting an Art degree from Rice University in Houston. She landed a job in web development where she learned the inner workings of web design and project management. In 2002, Parrish moved to California and fell in love with her husband of five years. They live with their adorable cat, Niko, in Playa Del Rey.

After also working in the interior and jewelry design industries, Parrish decided that she wanted to return to graphic design and help others through her creativity. Her discerning eye and artistic skills make her a valuable member of the Quirky Bird family.

Jeff Brillhart

You'd think this blurb would be the easiest to get since Staci's married to the guy, but alas! We'll have Jeff's info up soon!
