"Imagination will take you everywhere."
- Albert Einstein
My passion lies in design and all of the tools we can use to create worlds that visually express your brand's story.
Sofia
Director of Marketing
I was born in Thailand but raised in Italy. I graduated from college in Boston and since college, I've had the privilege to travel the world working with, meeting, and learning from various types of cultures and people.
Having worked on nearly every continent - I've held marketing roles for many different types of companies, ranging from startups to large conglomerates.
I love nothing more than helping companies express their unique identity in a way that embodies everything they represent while also setting them apart from everyone else in their market.
Vinny
Chief Information Officer
Originally from Texas, I moved to Chicago for school and have lived there for most of my professional career. I have held various CIO roles and finally found the perfect place to call my work home.
I've been interested in technology and how it shapes and improves business operations since I worked for my dad's business in high school and saw how much had changed from when he was my age.
Rather than resist technology, we must embrace it to stay up to speed with the rapidly changing marketplace and how it not only affects our business but how it can help us to improve our business and ultimately how we serve our customers.
Kim
Director of Sales
Raised in Alaska, growing up I was eager to leave and explore the US after college. Having since lived and worked in various cities, I initially found myself drawn to the city life, but realized that the people who I admire and identify most with are the people of Alaska; which is where I once again call my home.
I've spent half of my life in the corporate sales world building large businesses and the other half helping small businesses grow.
Every day entrepreneurs and businesses emerge with new and innovative ways to change the world, provide value, or simply make our lives easier. Learning from these people and sharing their knowledge to help other businesses do the same is my life's mission.
