about georgia tang
I am a web designer/developer based in Newcastle, Australia. My professional background is diverse, and with this I believe I bring more to my projects than the average IT professional. I am also an optometrist and small business owner. I have worked for large corporations and for the government. Along the way I discovered a passion for website design.
I graduated from the University of New South Wales in 2000 with a Bachelor of Optometry, first class honours, and the University Medal. I have since completed a Master of Public Health (2007) and a Graduate Certificate in Ocular Therapeutics (2011). After working in optometry and public health in various locations across Australia and New Zealand, I settled in Newcastle, and began studying web development. I love travelling and hiking, which is what led to the name ‘Trek Web Design’. I established Trek in 2014.
I am a great person to hire as not only do I love creating beautiful websites, but I am reliable, thorough, and easy to communicate with.

How did an optometrist become a web designer?
In 2010 my husband Jason (also an optometrist) went into private practice. I assisted with the setup and marketing, which included developing a practice website. We started out using drag and drop programs which limited our design ideas while also creating a mass of messed up code behind the scenes. So I taught myself to code from scratch in HTML5/CSS3. I loved designing and developing the practice website. It took a ton of time and looking back my first efforts were just awful, but I haven’t stopped since.
Four years on, I established Trek Web Design, and have since designed, developed & maintained websites for dozens of small businesses. Web development and my areas of interest continue to evolve and most of my websites are now custom WordPress builds on the GeneratePress framework.
