The Team

Whoaaah you mean it”s not just the two of you?!

That”s right, there”s a whole bunch of stuff happening behind the scenes at Apps & Hats. This is a list of the folks who have been on the team and are continually part of the action. Of course there have been a lot of other people who help out along the way through their generous support, ReTweets, mentioning us to others, and generally stylistic things (like when I get things wrong which happens a fair bit!).

Thanks to all of you!

Hattie Medd One of *The Girls* Episodes 1 – 26

I’m an ex fashion student gone awry who decided to leave that very sparkly world behind me and I’m now trying to move in on all the graphic design geeks territory. (Sorry guys!)

I love creating, but my sewing skills don’t get me too far on a computer so I’m trying to learn as much as I can on a Creative Digital Communications course. P.S. I don’t speak geek so try and keep it simple!

Sarah Smelik One of *The Girls* Episode 28

I trained in journalism and now concentrate on freelance and creative writing and particularly enjoy crime and children’s stories. I’m a bit tech-ignorant and am sure will ask plenty of dumb questions in the vain hope that one day I will at least be able to grasp the coat-tails of Christine’s boundless knowledge.

I am proud and delighted to be asked to sit beside her on the esteemed sofa.
