About
this is who we are
COLAB Web Works is a collectively organized, worker owned, democratically run web development and consulting business. We are a group of professionals with varied backgrounds, but with associations to web technologies from the early days of web based business to a full understanding of Web 2.0 and applied collaboration services for business.
We offer creative development and production services for your website, marketing, training, or internal collaboration. Experts at customer empowerment, we provide state of the art development using the most effective technologies available. We are fully experienced and trained to handle your Drupal based project, set up your internal, RSS based team collaboration community, create a website you can update yourself, produce your web based video and integrate it with your new or ongoing project, and offer the right advice on how to plan and use web technologies in the most cost effective way.
Take some time and meet our team!
Kristina
Kristina heads our marketing, sales, PR, and operational activity. An entrepreneur at heart, she took an interest in business in high school and earned her degree in marketing from Oregon State University. Her background in real estate, commercial leasing, and business administration complements her experience with applied technology. Always at the forefront of technical innovation, Kris has led the charge for many creative, practical solutions across industries. When not working, she finds herself lost in the Cascade Range hitting the trail by bike, or carving the slopes by snowboard.
Marcella
Marcella leads, oversees, and rules all of our digital video and image production. She began her career as a model and actress who quickly moved behind the camera and began producing her own short films. She brings her many years experience with media companies, working with talent, production, networking, casting and directing to our digital video production team. When not working she stays outside, falling off rocks, trekking through streams, and harvesting wild food from Oregon's coutryside.
Scott
Our guru of business development and all things kool, Scott has more than 20 years of experience developing integrated corporate communications strategies that have helped Portland technology start-ups grow into category leaders. Scott managed marketing for InFocus and Pixelworks, two startups that launched successful IPOs, and led the marketing communications team at Extensis. He has a B.S. in Journalism from the University of Colorado, and completed graduate level studies toward a Masters in Marketing Communications from Roosevelt University. When not working, he spends his time with his wife on a floating home on the Columbia River and loves messing about in small boats.
Tony
Tony leads our technical department and all the computer stuff we do. His career started when he began publishing an online magazine while attending Boise State University in the mid '90s. For over 12 years Tony has developed software and built websites using many different technologies, taught web development at PCC, and continues to explore new and improved methods and ideas. When not working, he stays out of the rain, enjoying an extensive LP collection, pursuing various art projects, or working on (and sometimes recklessly driving) a classic sports car.
