How SAGE came to be and why are there fish bones on this site?

  A little bit about me, My name is Shelley Halpain, Ive lived in the Sacramento area since 1986.

I am very knowledgable when it comes to promoting businesses online, writing blogs and updating websites, creating newsletters and performing (that all time consuming) social media. I also work many hours with a database program called "Fundraiser" for non-profits. My clients are diverse, creative and busy! There are so many details that need to be attended to and I can help.

I am an artist, avid volunteer, Mother, Daughter, Wife. I have 7 little pets in my house, Ive worked in a number of different capacities, Office Manager, Design Consultant, Supervisor, Zookeeper (yep, LA Zoo part time way back in the 80's). I have the reputation of being able to talk to anyone. Customers and Employees are all very receptive to my easy going, attentive attitude. I consider myself creative, capable and inventive.

The fishbones, paint splotches and chefs head represent and urban vibe, picture an old building downtown, interior brick walls, ecclectic decor.

People take life and themselves WAY to serious, we can get the job done AND have fun, maybe remove a little of the stress? If you are  stressed, you cant be creative and in this financial climate, we MUST be creative, which is what lead me to open this business.
