Our Team Seattle

Rob Lloyd
Rob co-founded Hang Wire based on the idea that a web company should not only offer both creative web design services and reliable hosting solutions, but personable and responsive customer service.

Rob is Hang Wire’s equivalent of a hospitality manager. He makes sure that clients are happy and satisfied (Morning haters beware: He’s astonishingly cheerful even at 6:00 a.m.) and maintains the Bossanova CMS for current Internet browser trends.

Prior to starting Hang Wire, Rob was the Internet director for U.S. Senator Patty Murray’s (D. WA) re-election campaign. He lives in Seattle with his wife, Jodie and their dog, Jaggy. He spends his free time playing drums in the rock band Little Pieces. He also enjoys soccer, hiking, and canoeing rivers in the great Northwest.

Rob has a bachelor’s in biology from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign and has been programming since age 9.

Kelly Merta
Kelly, a veteran in the Web world with 12 years of experience as a designer and Flash animator, co-founded Hang Wire with a desire to create sleek, innovative and user-friendly web design concepts for discerning clients.

As Hang Wire’s resident designer, Kelly is responsible for communicating, through imaginative and strategic design, the vision and passion of the firm’s clients.

Kelly resides in Seattle with his wife, Rachel, and their son, Owen. In his free time, Kelly plays soccer, attends live music shows, travels, or plays foosball in his basement (fresh opponents always welcome).

Kelly has a bachelor’s in psychology from St. John’s University in Minnesota.
