An unexpected conversation with a fellow WordPress podcaster who has a voice I can listen to all day.
In this lively chat, I sit down with Cami MacNamara to explore her personal and professional journey. We kick things off with the sweet story of how she met her husband in Lake Tahoe after a concert—a chance encounter that blossomed into marriage. Their wedding reception was even held at the same cozy cabin where they first met, a place that holds special memories from the winter of 1987.
Our conversation then flows into Cami’s educational path. She shares how she started in graphic design but later found her true passion in web design. Cami reflects on some big life choices, like transferring from Chico State to Fresno State, and how those decisions played a huge role in shaping her career.
As we dive into her professional life, Cami opens up about her love for WordPress and how it’s become the backbone of her business, WebCami. She talks about her journey with WordPress since 2007, blending her design skills with technology to create something she’s truly passionate about.
Cami also shares her thoughts on AI, what it’s like running a solo business, and how she manages to keep a good work-life balance. Even with the ups and downs, her love for what she does really shines through.
Toward the end, Cami and I take a trip down memory lane, reminiscing about our high school days and the key moments that shaped our lives. She recalls her time at a private Christian high school and the close friendships she still cherishes today.
To wrap things up, I share a bit about my own journey—from studying political science to falling in love with web design, much like Cami’s switch from graphic design.
Cami also gives a shout-out to her best friend and fellow web designer, Ann Marie Gill, suggesting she’d make a great guest for my podcast. We finish on a cheerful note, chatting about upcoming WordCamps and professional meetups, and underscoring how important community and continued learning are in our field.
