Angie Saltman, President

Angie has always enjoyed art and design. As a child, she devoted hours drawing images that emerged solely out of her imagination.

At 18, Angie realized that computer systems are the way of the future and graduated from the Business Career College in Grande Prairie with a Computer Technician with Distinction Diploma. She also has her A+ and Network+ IT certifications. After spending several years in the computer industry, she moved on to pursue her passion for graphics, gaining valuable experience working at local sign and print shops.

In 2010, Angie decided that web design was the perfect balance of art and technology and that she was up for the challenge of building her own business. As Saltmedia’s founder and president, Angie is responsible for ensuring quality designs and maintaining excellent client relations.

She keeps active in the community by serving as past president of the Canadian Mental Health Association Alberta Northwest.
