ANGELA NIELSEN.
president/creative director
One Lily’s award-winning web designs all started with a car crash. In her sophomore year at college Angela was a straight-A student with a goal of becoming a history professor. Those hopes faded when a distracted driver crossed the yellow line. The head-on collision resulted in traumatic brain injuries, impairing Angela’s short and long-term memory.
Undeterred by a long period of rehab, Angela decided to move on with her life, looking for a career that would permit her to work from anywhere: she and her husband were planning a family, but she knew that his career as a US Marine would spell frequent moves, and flexibility was a primary concern.
As a natural designer who loves color, Angela figured web design would fit the bill. So she rolled up her sleeves and launched her own business, teaching herself everything she knows about design.
Fast forward 12 years and Angela’s simple dream has resulted in currently serving over 200 clients, 30+ design awards, and 400+ websites designed.

Angela is a guest expert on teleclasses and has been interviewed for both radio and print on numerous occasions. She has an Advanced Certificate in Social Media by the USF, and working towards her Master Certificate in Internet Marketing. If you can’t find Angela in the office, she’s likely out camping and rockhounding with her family.
RACHEL CHANDLER.
executive assistant
Rachel began working for One Lily in February of 2006. In 2008 her husband (a US Marine) received orders to Japan, and she left One Lily to join him and to care for her two children. As of January 2011 Rachel rejoined the One Lily team. We could list the duties she performs, but you’d be here until next week reading the list. Suffice it to say – Rachel is the glue that keeps the company running smoothly. She keeps everyone on task, helps the clients get what they need, and just gets stuff done.
Rachel lives in North Carolina and loves spending time with her children, baking and of course being part of the One Lily team! (She makes a mean batch of chocolate chip cookies!)
TANYA JORDAN.
virtual assistant
Tanya began working for One Lily in March of 2011, after casually teasing Angela that she should become One Lily’s va. Tanya brings with her years of administrative and va experience, along with a practical “do what works” approach. She is excited by new technologies. Her focus in the past has been on solopreneurs and small businesses, finding solutions for their least favorite parts of business so they can focus on their core competencies.
One Lily’s sole Canadian team member has a passion for food. When not working or spending time with her husband and four children, she’s baking tasty treats.
SANNA BOMAN COATES.
technology director
Sanna began working for One Lily in November of 2009. Along with being our WordPress expert, she is also a code geek and is responsible for making sure that our client websites are up to date with current web standards and best practices. She doesn’t believe in sloppy coding, and is quick to try out new technologies and techniques when coding our client websites. Looking for something different? Sanna loves a challenge.
Originally from Sweden, Sanna moved to California for the sunshine and great opportunities. She has a passion for old cars and motorcycles, and likes reading, skydiving and playing bass in a rock’n’roll band.
LAURA BROOKER.
graphic designer
Laura began working for One Lily in January of 2011. Her expertise is in logo and corporate identity design. She has worked in the industry for over 7 years, formerly for an Adobe training partner, and dozens of company brands now exist because of Laura. Not only does Laura assist us with company brand development, but she also designs collateral (print pieces, powerpoint, etc) so that our clients have consistent materials.
Laura lives in Omaha, Nebraska with her husband and son. She enjoys quality time with her family, browsing Pinterest.com and Sonic’s happy hour!
