JL
Designer
(prounounced ‘Jay-Loo’) has a Midwest mentality that keeps her grounded but always curious to explore what else is out there. She is a strong believer in new adventures, learning by doing, and experimenting. Which makes it easy for her to dedicate herself to (and often lose herself in) a project.
WH
Senior Designer
finds deep satisfaction in balancing visual as well as functional problem solving. With a background in graphic design and a master’s degree in product design he often plays a jack-of-all-trades role, but has the most fun sketching, talking, and playing the “Yes, and…” game with a pen and paper.

PB
