About Us
Eileen Patterson
Eileen Patterson, co-owner of Creative Vision, has been within arm’s reach of a computer since the days of DOS in 1987. A self-described dork, Eileen’s passion is finding creative ways to take the intimidation factor out of technology and making sure that anyone who has a technological task to accomplish understands that it’s possible and fun.
In 1995, with corporate administration and IT experience under her belt, Eileen opened A Little Help, a consulting company that helped business owners make educated decisions on hardware and software solutions that would run their business efficiently and without complicated or expensive back office operations, which remains her philosophy.
Upon moving to Warwick, Eileen has been a reporter for Warwick Valley Dispatch where, as the reporter covering non-profit activities and Village Government, she ran and was elected for Village Trustee and ultimately appointed Deputy Mayor for the second half of her term. This passion for community involvement and service led Eileen to become Chair of Warwick in Bloom, a beautification committee that brings seasonal vitality to downtown Warwick and that won the prestigious international Communities In Bloom Award, naming Warwick “the most beautiful community in the world.”
Eileen is also a member of the Foundation Board for St. Anthony Community Hospital, and has been a past Board member of the Warwick Little League and various PTA’s within the Warwick Valley School District. She is married to James Patterson, a life-long resident of Warwick, and they live in the Village of Warwick with their three children. Eileen enjoys gardening, sewing and golf and would love to find a way to get her computer to do laundry and prepare meals.
