about marianne

professional
I am a detail-oriented front end developer/web designer with 7 years of experience in web development and design. I am passionate about the technical aspects of building dynamic, cross-browser compatible web pages, using CSS, DHTML, and some PHP. Other skills include search engine optimization and informational architecture.

I am looking for a position that incorporates both design and coding, provides the opportunity to expand my skills and knowledge, and offers a fun and exciting work environment.

I thrive in a team environment, yet I am self-motivated and possess the ability to multi-task, work efficiently, and meet multiple deadlines. I have many years of experience working with clients one-on-one and maintaining good relations with them.

personal
I consider myself a fun and honest person. I make friends fairly easily wherever I go, and I keep them. I can get along with almost anyone and I really strive to. I truly believe that in order to make the world a better place, you have to think about others first and be considerate. I am not perfect by any means, but I am always working on it in every aspect of my life.

My better half and I started a company called Vid2r a few years ago to showcase real estate listings using video. I am the Design and Marketing Coordinator as well as financier for the venture. I spend most of my free time on Vid2r, but my passion is designing and building websites and learning new things! I find that this is best done in a team environment with talented group of people.

When not working, I enjoy biking around Denver, hiking in the foothills and the occasional yoga class. I also play on a kickball league–gosh kickball is awesome! I love crosswords and reading anything to advance myself personally and professionally. I am a stickler about spelling for some reason and have been known to be a pixel pusher. I enjoy coffee, the Mediterranean, any large bodies of water really, long walks on the beach.....just kidding. I have sung in choirs all my life (was formerly a vocal music major) and currently sing in an 8 piece a capella choir called ReSound. Because I work so much, I really enjoy spending time with friends or visiting my family when I can.
