About the Arbenting Duo

I’m Angie Bowen, one of the creative minds behind Arbenting. I’ll go ahead and admit here that words aren’t my strong point, I’ve always leaned more toward the visual side of expression when it comes to the arts, the side where words don’t matter as much. So the writing aspect of Arbenting is something that is fairly greek to me, but I must say I have enjoyed the blogging aspect of the work.

I began my design career years ago learning to build and devise websites. Now that I have a firm handle on both xhtml and css, I plan to move on to explore PHP and Ruby on Rails and see what they have got to offer. Above all though, my favorite job here on the blog quickly became one that wasn’t a coding task at all, but in fact it was creating the freebies for you all. Hence, the new direction of the site.

And I’m Robert Bowen, the other half of the Arbenting duo. I’m a Libra, and I enjoy long hikes in the hills, and wait, what website is this for again? Oh, yeah. Um, ignore that last bit there, I would erase it, but I’m a lazy typist. Probably copywriting was the wrong area for me to focus my expertise, with that being the case, but low and behold, my focus is fixed.

After my stint working for an Arts Council and producing all of their copy for promotional materials, newsletters, and press releases, I really grew fond of a more technical aspect to writing. I had never written in a professional arena, and while the freedom of scripts and poems still has it’s appeal, I have enjoyed the more structured format of working in copywriting as well. The design field has always held my interest, and while my talents lay more towards layout and composition, I do occasionally labor through putting some designs together myself. Though, admittedly, I tend toward the pen more often than not.
