Carissa Gross

Colorado resident for almost 2 years and do not ever plan on leaving! Currently Lead Production Graphic Designer / Prepress at Alphagraphics in Aurora. We have a great view of the mountains of a prairie dog field..... I rescue a couple a month that wander into the street. I love rock climbing, sushi, aquariums, road trips . . . I believe in living your life to every expectation you have of it! I've also been a freelance photographer for 5 years, specializing in weddings, senior portraits, family portraits, concerts and events. One thing about me is that I still shoot film (and digital). I believe that a digital photograph can never capture the detail the way that film does.

Chelsea Shaw

I am a graphic designer currently based in Milwaukee, WI but I have my eye set on beautiful Denver! More than willing to move should the opportunity arise, I have experience in print, advertising, web design, a bit of coding (HTML, CSS, and some JQuery), packaging, and video/animation post-production.

Chris Douglass

I've been in the graphics, printing and publishing industry for a long time. I'm an expert at setting up files for just about any printing process under the sun. I'm also a Photoshop whiz, capable at color-correction, photo-retouching and photo-manipulation. Most of my employment has been in the publishing field. However, I have also done plenty of logo work, brochures, illustration and vehicle wrap designs. I'd always been into drawing and graphic design, even before I knew what it was. My grade school notebooks were full of doodles of rock band logos and inventive monsters. I don't want to date myself, but to this day I can still draw the Rolling Stones lips logo with my eyes closed. So after a brief stint studying history at Muskingum College, I transferred to the University of Akron and enrolled in the BFA of Graphic Arts program. I instantly knew I had made the right choice. I graduated three years later and went off to Washington, DC where I landed my first job in publishing. I stayed in DC for four years working in ad agencies, and design firms. My reasons for moving westward were largely motivated by skiing and Denver's proximity to the Rockies. So I was thrilled to be able to land a design and production position in the marketing department for SKI Magazine, Skiing Magazine and Warren Miller Entertainment. I have worked there ever since, doing design, print-production management and skiing as much as humanly possible.

Elizabeth Sunshine

Back in the day (a Tuesday) I was introduced to the art of typography and identity design. My world has not been the same since. In pursuit of my grid-induced dream, I headed to Colorado State University for my BFA in graphic design and have an insatiable urge to learn new things. My passion for having a final project being something I can feel, touch, and embrace has led me to love the world of communication design from concept through production. My in-depth knowledge of Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign makes me an efficient designer and has lead me to be one of the top billers at my most recent agency. While I am driven enough to work on a project alone; I appreciate working with a team to create an integrated solution. My experience in social media uses Facebook, LinkedIn, Google+, and Twitter in both corporate and social settings to create and engage communities. In my relentless search for learning more I am teaching myself Flash, Dreamweaver, HTML and CSS. Feel free to contact me for more information: shirjoycreative@gmail.com or 303-717-8868
