Profile Information
- What do you do?
- I am currently working as Recruitment Director with Knoxville Overground (KO). KO and EOK have been "siblings" since the beginning, and we have many members that are also active in EOK. KO manages a co-working community center (where the EOK meetings used to be held before) in Sequoia Hills. We also host a weekly LIVE PODCAST called "Lunch 2.0" that features the hottest local startups who have raised $100K+ in capital.
KO is in the process of putting together a curriculum for all levels of entrepreneurs, from "Freshman" to "Senior" and beyond. We are also creating a workshop series that will help small business, work-life balance, or some other area that is beneficial to our innovative entrepreneur community, here in East Tennessee.
I run a free BABYWEARING group, which teaches the safe use of multiple types of fabric baby carriers. You can learn more about the group here http://Meetup.com/Knoxville-Babywearing. You may learn LOTS about the benefits of babywearing at TBW: the BabyWearing MECCA - http://TheBabyWearer.com.
I also design one of a kind, handmade, Asian-inspired fabric baby carriers called TWILLI PIE podegi.
I am learning the ropes of staffing/recruiting. I love the idea of working with HUMAN CAPITAL!
AND I am creative director & co-founder for Dominant Paradigm, a small design and internet consulting firm. Due to many career direction changes, Dominant Paradigm is currently mostly inactive. But we are working on a renaissance. :-)

- Who are you? Tell us a little about you...
- My name is Renee Holiday. I am glad to be back in Knoxville (Oak Ridge) after 7 years in South Florida.
I am a quintessential DESIGNER. I've always loved all things related to color, design, texture, etc.. I have a formal background in graphic design and web design/development. But back injuries have caused me to shift my career direction. I am now learning the ropes of the staffing/recruiting biz, in addition to my other interests.
I have a 15 year old son and a 2 year old daughter.

I'm looking into freelancing development. Mostly in the mobile app world but other areas as well :)
I do not know about "48 hour launch". I will contact you to set something up soon.
See You Later,
Jason
Perhaps we can meet tomorrow morning. I look forward to it.
I have my own company now going on my 13th year. I do mostly commercial and industrial work such as environmental assessments and remediation. I have done some consulting subcontract work out in the Oak Ridge arena and know quite a few people out there.
Thanks for the kind word and I look forward to meeting you.
