About Navajo Customs

Navajo Customs was started by Tisha Shurley back in 1999 as Navajo Bella. While attending the University of Arizona, Tisha developed her web designing skills by making websites for several UA departments. Not utilizing any programs, she has developed the art of developing a website using straight HTML writing. Over the years, her skills developed in Flash, Corel Paint Shop Pro X, and Dreamweaver.

Her main inspiration to designing websites was inspired by watching her grandmother weave Navajo rugs. Taking the idea and modernizing this process, she designs or weaves websites.
