Maura McHugh lives in Co. Galway, Ireland. She has been involved in the IT Industry since 1996. In July 2001 she left her full-time job as a Systems Administrator and IT Manger to strike out on her own as a freelance web designer and writer.

Since then Maura has been working on a number of web-based projects, as well as publishing a daily web log that has become quietly popular (approximately 1,400 hits daily). She writes for various media: screenplays, articles, short stories, and poetry.

Maura's background in the Arts (English and History) is complemented by a professional career in technology (Lotus Notes, System Administration, Web Design). This combination allows her to create web sites based on intelligent and attractive design principles that provide literate and comprehensible content.

She is available for projects that require a creative insight into technological issues, as well as those looking for a writer's perspective on today's rapidly-evolving IT culture.

In November 2005 she graduated with a first class honours MA in Screenwriting from the Huston School of Film in Galway.
