(Creative Suite – In Design, Illustrator, Photoshop, Acrobat, Microsoft Office – Word, PowerPoint, Excel and Knowledge of WordPress, Drupal & HTML.)

Whatever the project, Kate's goal is to complete it within budget, on time, and to put a smile on your face. She works out of her Ballard home studio in Seattle with her loyal studio dog, Ellie.

Ted Clark

Technology

Luckily Ted found programming in high school in the 80s. Modifying a formula that output triangles to create Christmas tree branches led to the realization that computer programs were just little chunks you created and put together to solve bigger problems. Since then he has worked with dozens of computer languages, database and application platforms to help organizations find solutions cost effectively. Ted has worked with and for non-profits, organizations and enterprises of all sizes. These include Boeing, Microsoft, multiple Washington State agencies, and Community Youth Services among many others. For Cayzen in Lacey, Ted has worked at Labor and Industries on contract for 14 years. The other passion Ted found in the 80s was a love of drums. Besides being with his current bandmates for 30 years, he regularly performs at church and enjoys a good challenge, such as joining the high school for Little Shop of Horrors or hand-drumming for Olympia’s Procession of the Species.
