Emira Mears was twenty-four years old when she co-founded Raised Eyebrow Web Studio with Lauren, and at that time could still never imagine calling herself the boss. She has since carved herself a niche as a sought-after web strategist, offering savvy and creative advice to clients ranging from international online retailers to small, grassroots non-profits. Emira's degree in Communications from Simon Fraser University (where she focused on feminism and cultural studies) gave her a solid grounding in both marketing and politics, a combination which has proved invaluable for Raised Eyebrow's growing client base of advocacy groups and small businesses. Now thirty, in addition to having an employee on the payroll, she is a published freelance writer specializing in business, media and women's issues. During the heyday of portal websites, she edited a syndicated column on the now-offline Canadian women's portal site Moxie.ca (also published at Canoe.ca) that covered these themes, and continues to contribute to a range of publications including Bitch Magazine, Venus and Herizons Magazine. In the spring of 2006, Gayla Trail -- author of the successful You Grow Girl book and website -- offered Emira a regular column on the YouGrowGirl.com gardening blog, where she now publishes weekly on gardening-related themes. |
