Headquartered in Lincoln, Nebraska, Sandhills' facilities include an on-site printing press, bindery, and state-of-the-art data center (as well as a geographically dissipate redundant data center in Scottsdale, Arizona). Four international office locations are backed by decades of experience and the continuous investment in the most cutting-edge technologies, making Sandhills a global leader in the respective industries it serves.

As an Interactive Designer, I am responsible for conceptualizing, creating, developing and maintaining visually appealing, user-friendly websites and interactive applications for Sandhills publications and their customers. I utilize HTML, CSS, and responsive design to deliver an engaging user experience across multiple platforms on web or mobile devices.
Comments: Working for Sandhills Publishing, I learn something new everyday, and I have improved my web design skills tremendously. My favorite thing about working for Sandhills is producing dozens of websites a month and redesigning older sites to be cool and modern.
