Tim has been designing and building websites since 2000, when he began working on a degree in Multimedia Technology and Web Design.

Shortly after graduating from college, Tim began working for VillageSoup in Camden as part of their web development team, designing and developing websites for midcoast Maine area businesses and organizations.

In 2006, Tim decided it was time to start building his own clientele, so in March he started doing web design work as a freelancer for a couple of other web design companies in Maine. In January 2007, 5iveLeaf Design Studio was born.

The business stayed a part-time venture, slowly building over time, until in 2011 5iveLeaf Design Studio became a full-time business.

Kristen's first career was as an Occupational Therapist, but her first love was photography. That's why she heads up the photography side of 5iveLeaf Design Studio.

Her early days in photography involved an old Vivitar SLR, and lots and lots of film. She has fond memories of developing photos in the darkroom for her high school photography class.

She still holds on to a Masters of Science in Occupational Therapy, and she still works part-time in the school system as an Occupational Therapist. The rest of the time you'll find her meeting with clients and responding to the many messages we receive through all communication channels. And you'll most certainly find her behind a camera.

Be sure to check out her work at 5iveLeaf Photography.

We know what you're wondering...

...and the answer is yes, we do work together, much of the time only a few feet from each other, and we get along swimmingly. Many people we know have said they could never work with their spouses, but we make a great team!
