The Board

President
Maddox is a skilled visual storyteller. With creative origins in illustration, he’s never been afraid to create exactly what he needs when something doesn’t already exist.

Vice President
I’d rather be creating or learning something new than doing just about anything else. Brand development and user journey building is my jam. I am passionate about good photography and design and an admitted typography nerd.

Creative Director
I’m a designer and animator based in St. Louis, MO. Like everyone, I’m a huge fan of Disney and Pixar movies. One of my favorite elements from those movies would have to be the storytelling. Being able to tell stories through the art of motion and design has always been a passion of mine since I was a kid.

Membership Director
Natalie has always had a fascination for making creative connections within her surroundings. While learning various art forms, she discovered that design was the ultimate practice to incorporate all creative possibilities. Her ambition to see the unnoticed and unexpected potential of everyday life, drives her belief that design has the ability to broaden perspectives and impact the world.

She also enjoys digital illustration and often looks for opportunities to incorporate art into her website projects.

Treasurer
I am a graphic designer, illustrator, and lifelong student of design. After ten years in banking, I returned to school to pursue my passion. My previous work experience has taught me that every penny counts. That attention to detail combined with my study of art and design  forms an analytical approach to creativity.

Education Chair
I live in St. Louis, Missouri. Currently I am an Assistant Professor of Graphic Design. I teach in the Department of Art and Design at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville (SIUE) in Edwardsville, Illinois. I earned a MA and a MFA in Graphic Design from The University of Iowa in Iowa City, Iowa.
