Lynda McClure

I find joy in the chaos that is the creative process and take pride in the fruits of that labor. I believe that simplicity is often the hardest thing to achieve. I am inspired by the patterns of nature, and color plays a critical role in my design style. Hand lettering and daily sketching are something I'm working on again, after having gotten pretty rusty over the last decade. Computers are great, but I prefer the tactile to the digital any day.

Mary Baum

I'm a traditionally trained art director and writer who builds brands that grow margins - then develops integrated marketing campaigns that grow revenues. * A Mac user since 1987, I'm passionate about the web and obsessed with @font-face. * A recovering GoLive wysiwyger, I now advocate designers coding the way a reformed smoker talks about lung cancer. * But I also know that it's copy - emotional, relevant copy about a customer's deepest fears and desires - that really moves the merchandise.

Matt Bell

I've been PRACTICING design for, well, a while now. Some days you feel like you've got this design thing by the throat, and other days you feel completely clueless. Maybe that's one of the things that makes it interesting. Lately most of my inspiration has been coming from design fields outside of the communications industry. I find Architecture, Interior Design, and Industrial Design great creative fuel; FUNCTIONAL solutions influencing what I do on a daily basis and challenging me to make my solutions equally functional. That's what I mean by PRACTICING and hopefully evolving, so that, at some point, the "by the throat" days outpace the clueless ones. I'm presently an Associate Creative Director with Falk Harrison.

Scott Alaric Shade

Strategic Thinking + Creative Process + Common Sense = Successful Results. My passion lies in design, art direction, copywriting, problem solving, printing process and color theory (although i've designed over 50 websites), and just plain old effective communications. I grew up on a farm, lived in the mountains, and currently reside and work in Columbia, Missouri, which is a vibrant, fun, progressive, warm and welcoming town that's just the right size for raising a family and enjoying great culture. I also teach at Stephens College which is a very fun and rewarding experience that keeps me on my toes and in touch with a different generation with fresh perspectives. I prefer mountains over the beach. Coffee is a requirement. Good beer is a must. I love a good long trail run. Chocolate is my weakness. David Carson is a friend and my inspiration. And I respect the industry in which i work. My "arsenal" of strategies include annual reports, ad campaigns, collateral, social media, tradeshow/display graphics, tv, radio, billboards, logos, packaging, websites, direct mail, newsletters, magazine, email marketing, banner ads, fleet graphics and marketing plans. To name a few... Design everything.

Steph Terry

My name is Steph Terry. Besides laughing, design is one of my favorite things. I love what I do and I think it really shows in my work. I am a self-motivated and enthusiastic designer who has an increasing interest in working with and learning from others. I have done mostly print work, but I have some experience with the digital stuff. I'd love to learn more digital because it seems like we can't get away from it. I hope to continue to grow as a designer, further my skills and experience, while making friends along the way.

Steve Mahn

Art Director at @HLKagency. Proudly pushing pixels right smack dab in the middle of the U.S. of A.

Steven Darby

Only my family calls me “Steven.” It’ll feel like you’re being inappropriately intimate with me if you do, so call me Darby. My professional interests have varied over time; from creative management and music production, to product design and event coordination. Regardless of medium or industry, I’m interested in creating solutions to problems. That being said, I’m most interested lately in any work that supplements culture instead of work that exploits culture. It’s a big deal to me. I want to do work that inspires, educates, and/or entertains an audience without being condescending or relying on stereotypes to convey a message. Most importantly, I absolutely want my work to be sincere in its conception, execution, and delivery.
