Hello! My name is Sé Reed. I am a web developer, a speaker, a small business owner, and an Internet geek. (I’m also a mom, and it’s awesome.)
I love the internet!
I have been actively developing websites and content for the Internet since 1992, first for fun, then for work.
My Small Business Roots
In 2003, I founded Open the bookstore, and developed it into a much-loved cultural icon, which gives me a unique understanding of the challenges and opportunities small business owners face.
From 2012 to 2019 I was specialty business adviser at the Small Business Development Center hosted by Long Beach City College, where I helped small business owners develop their web and marketing strategies–basic website development, social media and search engine optimization–through one-on-one consulting and monthly workshops.
In 2018, I founded Kerredyn Collaborative with my business partner Katie Adams Farrell, focusing on businesses and organizations with a social impact.
P.S. I also sing harmonies and play percussion in a band with my sister, Alicia Murphy. (We’ve been on hiatus since 2020 because I had a baby and the world had a pandemic. But we recently started band practice again, so … )
