Welcome

My name is Michelle Pakron and I am a Jackson, MS-based web creative director, web project manager, web designer, and print designer with over 13 years of experience helping small businesses, individuals and non-profits look more professional. I specialize in SharePoint branding, customizations and administration; managing IS web-based projects, intranet design; web application design; web sites for non-profits and small businesses, logos, branding, and general print projects. I am available for freelance and consulting projects.

I work full-time as the Director of Creative Content/SharePoint for Mississippi Interactive where we recently launched the all-new award-winning state website for Mississippi, ms.gov. I am accepting web and design projects from anywhere in the country including New Orleans and Jackson, MS.

I also run a blog for web designers who work with SharePoint called SharePoint for Designers.
