I'm Sofia Roper

Creator of simple designs and digital efficiency.

Here are some facts about me

I was born in Vienna, Austria and we immigrated to South Africa when I was seven.
After finishing school, I became a goldsmith and jewelry designer and started my own business at 23.
It’s during those years that I bought my first computer and fell in love with technology. It clicked with my problem-solving practical brain.
In 2001 I left South Africa and after traveling for a while, settled in San Diego, California where I became a financial advisor and coach.
After a divorce in 2010, I took a Sabbatical to figure out what I’d like to do next since I didn’t have a passion for financial services.
For the next 5 years I honed my tech skills and found that building WordPress websites was creatively very satisfying, just as jewelry design had been.
When I left San Diego to move to Oregon, I stayed with two different friends who each needed help with their computers. After setting things up for them so that it was simpler and more efficient they both said; “You’re very good at this and have so much patience. You should do it as a business.” Well that’s all the encouragement I needed.
Shortly after settling in Oregon, I started my tech and web development biz and clients started calling me the Tech Whisperer. (Ask me why)
When my grandson was born, my daughter and her family decided to move to Knoxville, Tennessee. Since they were my only family in the US, I moved there too.
I have a son who lives in South Africa, mom and brothers in Austria, and cousins in Australia….true global citizens.
