Dan Allen

Dan began working remotely with Lowell in 2012 while living in San Francisco, eventually moving back to the mountains of Western North Carolina to take up a full-time position. He has designed, built and maintained part or all of more than two dozen WordPress websites, and especially enjoys the design process. He has created custom illustrations and logo designs and seems especially suited to helping support his clients’ individual visions for their online presence. Well versed in Adobe, a capable front-end specialist and adept at back-end integration as well as server setup and maintenance, Dan brings a lot to any team he’s on.

Dan graduated from UNC-Asheville in 2006 with a Bachelor of Arts in Literature and Creative Writing. He spends every minute he can spare on music, and has released 4 albums in the last 3 years under various bands and projects. He hopes to one day tour the world performing his songs, but for now he is content to work on them at home. He has a loving partner named Devon and a temperamental cat named Binx.
