"Shanna is an incredibly talented Creative Director. I have worked with her on several large-scale projects over the years and have always been impressed by her passion for design, her ability to innovate and create and her final results. Her inspired vision and thorough execution are second to none. I enthusiastically recommend, without reservation, Shanna and her talents, her imaginative, impactful and artistic creations."

Jimi Marshall - Stephen Gould Corporation

"Shanna is definitely a Utopian hybrid, hard to find in most IT/design environments. While she can interpret and debug back end code; she also ensures that UI applications are user friendly and intuitive. She possesses excellent work ethics, able to adapt to any organizational culture. More importantly, she is always willing to help outside her scope of support or assigned duties. She helped me tremendously to identify and verify unexpected behaviors and deficiencies within the Software from a Quality Assurance perspective. Shanna will definitely become a technical+design asset for any company."

Alex Villegas - Microsoft Dynamics CRM

"Shanna is one of the most creative people I know. She’s always willing to put in the extra effort to get a job done right, and make it look great. Shanna is a tremendous asset and a great person to work with."

Eric Gregory - Total Server Solutions/COLO@
