Mary Baum

Mary Baum is the founder and principal of RacquetPress, a digital consultant to the tennis industry. … Trained as a print designer before the web was born, Mary built her first site (wrong) in 1999 and started to learn real CSS and HTML in 2007 — at the tender age of 47.

Today she’s a big fan of design in the browser (after a few thumbnail sketches!) and all the modern CSS the browsers will support. She’s also started hanging out in the core developer chats and helping write the blog posts (and it’s giving her a swelled head.)

Also high on her list: rare steaks, homemade hot fudge sauce, high backhand volleys and high-contrast serif type; the Genesis Framework, Boeing fighter jets and repeating patterns in Illustrator; and finally, Atomic Blocks for Gutenberg and the ad court.
