Mallory Solis


Lifelong learner of all things, though my interests mainly lie in health (physical and mental), travel, and languages. When I'm not working, I play tennis a few times a week, play (mostly indie) video games with my partner, learn languages (fluent in English, working on Spanish). You can also find me planning my next trip, and work on my YouTube channel. I took my first solo trip to Ireland in 2012 and haven’t looked back since.

I grew up in San Antonio, Texas and moved to Austin in 2007 to get a degree in computer science from UT Austin. From there, I became a software developer for a few years before taking a break to teach English in Thailand for a year. I learned how to survive and even make friends in a country where I don’t know the language, and I went scuba diving as much as I possibly could even though I was not teaching anywhere near the beach. Since I’ve returned I have enjoyed creating and editing websites. My favorite part is meeting new people, hearing their stories, and seeing their (website) visions come to life.

Creating websites that work as hard as small businesses do - because we're all in this hustle together.

We very likely have something in common, which is part of what I like about meeting people. It’s all about finding what that thing is.
