about

Misty Willey

Designer

About sections are hard, so let's Keep it Simple Sally. My name is Misty Willey - like One-Eyed Willie from “The Goonies”. I am based in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and when asked what I do for a living I say “I do web stuff.”

I am a list maker, organizer and planner. I think in systems and am always on the lookout for increased efficiency and improvements. Maintaining design systems, content style guides and writing clean code (HTML/CSS) are but a few things in my wheelhouse.

On a personal note, I’ve grown up in the hot rod custom world and my dad is an award-winning custom painter, Wet Willey. I have two awesome hot rods; Bernie, a '75 Chevy stepside and Bertholomew, a '53 Chevy Bel Air Sedan; and two projects a '49 Chevy 6400 named Beauford and Benson a '60 Lark Wagon. My vacation time is spent at car related events, car show, swap meet, nostalgia drag races or helping dad.
