FERGIN’ IT UP

Things are busy and the company is growing. Fast. So what’s the first thing I do when you give me power? Add to our baller status*.

ELEVATE would like to welcome Korey Ferguson into the mix. Sure, he’s got design skills. Yes, we believe he can think on his feet. But it’s his dislike of large cats and natural ability to be a smartass that made him a fit.

Korey, a CCAD grad, previously worked for Graphica, a design and communications firm in Dayton. While there, he worked with clients such as Proctor & Gamble, JC Penney, and IBM. Korey is also involved with organizations such as the Boys and Girls Club and the Columbus Big Brother/Big Sister program—Nice guy, huh?

We’re happy to have him broaden our pool of talent, embrace our culture, and add to our playlists. And he brings great enthusiasm and interest in growing right along with us.

So go ahead, introduce yourself to him @iamferg.

BRING ON THE TALENT

I’m excited to welcome Amanda Parker to the studio. Her design skillz, talent and easy-going personality make her a perfect fit. And in her first few weeks, she wasn’t offended by Darren a single time – which is quite an accomplishment.

Before joining ELEVATE, Amanda was a web designer at Abercrombie. Along with her e-commerce projects there, she kept busy as a freelance designer. Her portfolio includes work for academic, fashion, fitness, music, theater, architecture and community service clients. After developing complete marketing systems for many of her clients, she’s comfortable designing and producing a variety of elements – from internal communications to print and outdoor advertising. This versatility comes in handy at ELEVATE, where she’s already shown her ability to jump into a variety of projects and help produce great work.

We’re focused on finding the right people to add to the dynamic here at ELEVATE. Amanda has the energy, attitude and hard-working ethic that matches our personality. Plus she brings a fully loaded music collection to add to the studio’s soundtrack.
