I am a web designer with over 10 years of experience designing and deploying online applications and sites. Specializing in SharePoint branding, layout and usability, I have extensive experience with SharePoint technologies and web content management. Through my company, Solomon Creative, I deliver services to maximize SharePoint capabilities to benefit corporations nationally.

My strong suits are design, layout, and usability. I have an applied science degree and my start was in print media. I don't consider myself a typical cookie-cutter web designer that has little concept or understanding of back-end development. I design with code in mind and I am comfortable in a development environment working with the code and the developers.

In October 2005 and October 2006 I received a Microsoft Most Valuable Professional award for Windows SharePoint Services.

Outside of work, I am a mother, a wife, an animal lover (and of course owner) and all in all very tired most of the time due to the previously listed three occupations. :-P
I read, scrapbook, take pictures, love movies, make cakes, and thoroughly enjoy my circle of family and friends. I aspire to continue to enrich and expand my life and experiences.
