Bio: 

For nearly twenty years, Krista Trovato has partnered with the pioneers who merged the technology of the internet with graphic design and traditional marketing techniques to create entirely new methods of customer outreach and cultivation.

Krista creates tools for companies big and small by merging her marketing and graphic design skills with her comprehensive, cutting-edge knowledge of the internet, information technology and software development. She has experience in fields ranging from drupal expertise, internet security, biotechnology and network management to desktop publishing and e-commerce.

Krista has brought the possibilities of the truly merged media campaign to her clients in business, political campaigns, and the non-profit sector. She has served as a bridge between her clients—no matter their degree of computer literacy—and the tools of a fully integrated marketing strategy for the information age. If you are looking for a Pittsburgh website designer who will care about the success of your project as much as you do, look no further. Krista has a passion for her work and gives each project the time and attention necessary to make sure your website design project is successful.

At Amazon.com, a world leader in e-commerce, Krista’s work identified the need for a quality assurance group to focus on testing e-commerce functionality. For Adobe Systems she worked as a lead tester on the PageMaker team and led the quality assurance efforts for the localization of Adobe suites to 13 single-byte languages. At Carnegie Mellon University’s FORE Systems she worked on the total rewrite of their network management systems.

Software development taught Krista to streamline projects, and her printing experience showed her how to work with customers in the iterative revision process. Her technical and service backgrounds allow Krista to translate technology into functional, client-friendly applications.

Krista is committed to combining quality design elements with complete media functionality and comprehensive customer training to create tailored marketing solutions. She designs products that work for the people who need them at prices they can afford.

Krista’s Italian roots in Pittsburgh have taught her the value and importance of customer relationships. Her family settled in Pittsburgh from Italy in the early 1900’s, for three generations her family has catered to the needs of Pittsburgh residence and businesses. Krista values the kind of personal relationships with her clients that her family has fostered with their customers for so many years.

Security Consultant: Krista provides security and compliance assessments for various corporations in the Pittsburgh area. Krista provides assessment of the people, processes, and technology in place within your organization for an overall risk assessment. Krista provides assessments of ecommerce security to ensure your customer data is transmitted and stored to protect sensitive data that can be used by hackers for malicious purposes. No matter how small your business, security should be a priority.
