My name is Karsten. I studied engineering at Penn State. I started making money with websites and decided to pursue web development full time. Despite the occasional tedium, I love the difference a website can make in someone’s life. With websites, a person’s business or dreams can take off, or thousands of dollars can be raised to feed people worldwide. I’ve also gotten to travel all over the world. That’s also a plus.
My name is Andrea. I’m a native Ecuadorian who studied biochemistry and I’m married to Karsten. We met in Ecuador on a missions trip. Since then, I’ve assisted our Spanish-speaking clients and our English-speaking clients who want bilingual sites. I’ve also helped organize international outreaches to give gifts to children born into poverty. I also manage behind-the-scenes operations, ensuring everything runs smoothly.
I started working with SEO back in 2008, working on my own sites. I managed about 30 sites and made a decent living from advertising.
My first actual clients were a few of my neighbors.They needed website help as they weren't receiving any traffic. I was able to diagnose the problem and get them some traffic.
Soon, people recognized me as reliable and skilled with websites and other intricate tasks. Over time, I received numerous referrals, becoming an integral part of many small businesses and collaborating with several partners.
Today, we have numerous clients, including a university, retreats, best-selling authors, world-renowned speakers and researchers, and many growing small business owners—the backbone of the US—as well as several partnerships. I consider everyone I work with a partner; their success is my success.

If it were not for Blue Avispa I’d have no business at all. I did house calls for years except no one ever called me because they couldn’t find me. That all changed once this company got working for me. I get a few hundred spams a week from scammers selling SEO products. If I had to work with them, I’d rather retire. This company provides an incredible level of honest personalized service.

Karsten was a dream to work with! I’m not a very techy person so it’s helpful to me when someone makes the process so simple and user-friendly. He was able to send me several designs to select from and produced the website in a very timely manner. I highly recommend him if you need a website designed or maintained. He is my go to guy!
