Shannon is enthusiastic and energetic, and will tackle any task she's given with determination and attention to detail. I worked with Shannon in a fast-paced and challenging environment as part of a small Creative Services team.
Shannon is quick to learn new technical skills and very proficient with software, especially Adobe InDesign. She taught me many of the time-saving techniques I use today for formatting and organizing large, complex documents. Her strong organizational skills combined with her creative abilities made her an invaluable member of our team.

I have known and worked with Shannon Horton for more than a decade and I can safely say that I have yet to meet anyone as technically savvy. Extremely clever with her effervescent personality and natural artistic flair makes her a triple threat.
I would not hesitate to endorse Shannon on any project; she simply makes things seem effortless.
