About ThirdSide Naming company in Champaign, United States
History
In the late 1990s our co-founder Lisa Cerezo started designing and building websites as a personal hobby. People started to ask about her skills and she soon found herself building and managing websites for a small handful of non-profit organizations.
In 2010 Lisas husband Jason (our other co-founder) was laid off from a stable career and decided to leverage his marketing and design experience to start a marketing firm. While servicing marketing clients he found that many of them had websites that were less than professional. People started asking for website work and ThirdSide was born! In May of 2011 we began offering professional graphic design and web development services to small- and medium-sized businesses and organizations.
Giving Back
Being part of a community means giving back to a community. Each year we give to local non-profit organizations through free or reduced-cost services or cash donations. Some of our recent projects have included websites for the Champaign-Urbana Symphony Orchestra Feeding Our Kids First Gig Rock amp; Roll Camp and Rattle the Stars.
2018 Expansion
In early 2018 an opportunity was presented that allowed ThirdSide to expand to Portland Oregon. We have established a firm base of clients in the area and expect to become a major player in the region by 2021. In Portland we continue our mission of serving businesses and organizations who need more customized solutions than can be provided without the need for highly-customized cost-intensive development.

Lisa is one of the co-founders of ThirdSide. She is also a published author with a passion for the written word. Telling other peoples stories well is her main goal.
Her idea of relaxing is trying to make sense out of the mysteries of The X Files and LOST. Maybe someday.
Jason is a co-founder of ThirdSide. When hes not building websites making graphics or meeting clients hes hanging out with his family doing family things or hanging out with performers doing performer things.
He has a Star Wars obsession that some consider to be…unnatural.
Melinda brings several years of experience to ThirdSide to help navigate the challenges of growth.
When not working to keep project tasks flowing Melinda finds time to nurture her creative side (yes even project managers have a creative side) by trying out new recipes on her husband and three daughters.
Pat has always been enthusiastic about portraying information visually and aims to do so in unique and clever ways.
In his free time Pat enjoys playing and listening to music. He loves playing guitar and drums but still hasnt mastered playing both at once.
