Beth Downey

As Parthenon’s junior web developer, Beth has an insatiable curiosity and a desire to explore. That approach to learning helps her embrace new ideas and deliver practical, attractive website experiences for clients. Beth is one of the rare individuals who transitioned from graphic design to web development, and has displayed her deft touch in both areas. She specializes in creating custom themes for websites using WordPress. In her last role, she worked as a front-end web developer at sprclldr for more than three years, while also completing a number of web development and graphic design projects under her own company, Permelia Media. Beth is a proud fifth-generation Mississippian and received a Bachelor of Fine Arts with an emphasis in graphic design from Mississippi State University. She moved to Nashville in 1999, where she soon established herself as a successful graphic designer for clients including Adventure Science Center, Vanderbilt University Press, The Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, and Barry Beckett Productions.
