Maggie Ruthless
Interactive Designer
Hi there, my name's Maggie. I’m an artist, designer, creative director, front-end developer and a dab hand at Wordpress. I create engaging interactive, visual experiences from my home base in Dallas, Texas. I paint a mean watercolor, too.
If you're wondering about the whole Ruthless thing, it's because Ruth is my middle name.
