About Us

We're a small company with huge talent. That means high-quality work without the big agency price tag.

Victoria Merriman

Creative Director and Partner

Victoria's three proudest accomplishments are surviving her dairy farm upbringing, bicycling across the U. S. by herself, and founding Digital Loom. After earning a degree in Visual Studies from Harvard University, she became a technical writer for Boris FX and later served on the Graphic Design faculty at the New England Institute of Art. She founded Digital Loom in 2000 to take on a web design contract for Boston University, and has gone on to serve more than 130 happy clients. She attributes Digital Loom’s success to consistently delivering sophisticated design and technology, strong attention to usability and web communication, and top-notch support and customer service.

Ben Di Maggio

Technical Director and Partner

Not only does Ben have the technical expertise to elegantly solve any problem, he also takes the time to help our clients make informed decisions and feel comfortable with technology. Ben first began building websites in 1995 at the Kellogg Graduate School of Management while an undergraduate at Northwestern University. He later went on to work at Neokom, Concrete Media, and Kaplan Inc, earning promotions in every position he held. After returning from Tokyo where he taught English for 3 years, Ben built a freelance web development practice focused on open-source technologies suited to his loyal non-profit clientele. In 2007 he became a partner at Digital Loom.

Amelia Leason

Senior Web Designer

Best described as open-minded, accommodating, and intuitively creative, Amelia consistently delivers stunning and sophisticated designs perfectly suited to any goal. Her ten years in the creative field have taken her from the unbearable serenity of elderly group travel at Grand Circle Travel to the constant chaos of radio promotions at Mix 104.1 FM. In addition to handling any design challenge with signature style and fanatical attention to detail, Amelia has been known to make astonishingly intricate cupcakes shaped like pandas or corn on the cob.

Adam Globus-Hoenich

Senior Web Developer

Adam got an early start in web design and development by reading programming books and toying around with Photoshop for hours every day as a teenager. He won his position at Digital Loom in 2007 when he heroically delivered a prototype for a particularly pesky piece of Javascript in a matter of hours. (Two other freelancers had given up after spending days on it). Since then his ever-expanding array of skills has been honed by developing everything from simple brochure sites to complicated custom applications. When he's not doing that, he can be found producing electronic dance music.

Paige Eaton

Web Developer

Paige's innate ability to break complex data into understandable chunks was refined through an impressive collection of degrees culminating in a Master's in Library Science at Simmons College. Her interest in web technology grew in positions at the Woburn Library, Ex Libris, and Minuteman Library Network where she designed and maintained all manner of websites, online catalogs, and staff intranets, then patiently explained them all to patrons and staff alike.  She has a penchant for softball and flag football, and has even completed a triathlon for which she embraced the motto, “why be bad at one sport when you can be bad at all three?”

Julie Alailima

Bookkeeper

Before joining Digital Loom, Julie cleaned out many a disorganized artist's shoebox of receipts, and these days she works her magic to corral timesheets, reconcile bank statements, and cause checks to miraculously appear in our mailbox. Few things fill her with as much satisfaction as the peaceful serenity achieved when the accounts balance out, and thus bookkeeping provides a much-needed respite from the stress of training for marathons and chaperoning her children's school field trips.
