About the E-builders NZ Ltd crew

About Donna: E-Builders NZ Ltd is owned and operated by Donna Russell, a journalist, sub-editor, photographer and web designer based in Whangarei, New Zealand.

With more than 25 years working in different media, honing the skills needed for this business, I can offer a wide range of skills for your project.

I qualified as a journalist at the Auckland University of Technology in 1981 and have worked as a journalist, features editor, agriculture editor and garden page editor. I also worked in Perth, Western Australia as editor of the Master Builders Association's The Builder newspaper and in London as a sub-editor on the award-winning Building magazine, where top quality work was always demanded.

On my return to New Zealand, I became agriculture editor and then a sub-editor at the Northern Advocate newspaper in Whangarei, New Zealand. Over the next 12 years working as a sub-editor, I honed skills in design and layout, graphics, attention to detail and planning projects.

In 1999 I graduated with a Graduate Diploma in Media Studies from Massey University, with a special interest in online media. I also undertook web design training through Auckland University of Technology.

In 2000 I decided to concentrate on E-Builders NZ Ltd, to develop my own business in web design, freelance journalism and editing. I write a computer column every week, which is now syndicated to three publications. I'm also a tutor in web design for local evening classes.

I'm doing what I love, and this shows in my work.

About Carla: With a background in network and software engineering in Christchurch and London, Carla brings some special skills to E-builders NZ Ltd. She graduated with a Bachelor of Commerce in Applied Computing and Tourism from Lincoln University in 1992.

Carla tackles database designs and programming, and is skilled at adapting open source software to our clients' individual needs.
