Webellion is a small social enterprise founded by Theo Kitchener and has recently expanded, bringing Lukas Berk and Brett Hennig on board as well.
Theo Kitchener has eleven years of web development and programming experience. In particular she has been working with the Drupal content management system for the past five years. Over the years, she has also studied law, film-making, multimedia, programming, small business, environment studies, politics and economics, finally graduating with a BA in History from the University of Melbourne. She spends her spare time gardening and working on the Sharehood.
Brett Hennig has been involved in social justice and grassroots media activism for many years, including the creation of websites for community groups. He has a PhD in computational mathematics, several years experience as a software engineer, and is currently the primary carer of two young children.
Lukas Berk brings 12 years of experience in software development, design and business analysis to the group. After graduating with a BSc in Computer Science and Geophysics from Monash University, he went on to work in the tertiary education sector being involved in all aspects of analysis, design, development and maintenance of enterprise scale information systems. As well as being a strong advocate for Open Source software he has worked on a number of community web based projects, and in his spare time balances his obsession with software with his obsession for cycling, camping and the outdoors.
Tessa Sellar has had an interest in eco-design and print for several years, graduating from RMIT Graphic Arts in 2007. She has thorough knowledge of CS4, Acrobat professional and Quark design programs. She has been working as a freelance designer for 4 years on projects such as annual reports, branding, logo design and advertisements for events. She has experience in design, finished art and communication with printers.
Webellion was started to support environment and social justice campaigns that cannot afford commercial rates. The money received for these services mainly goes into paying the rent and other conveniences such as food. Any extra cash we may receive from those who can afford it goes into our own environment and social justice projects such as the Sharehood local community infrastructure.
