Matthew Blom, Copywriter / eMarketing

Interested in Marketing since high school, Matthew was not one to take the established path. His own journey found him earning a BA in Psychology from SFU and a Certificate of Marketing and Sales from UFV: for more breadth in his education, and to better understand the "Psychology of Selling." Matthew is a self-described "rabid" movie fan knowing too much about characters you'll never meet, and places that don't exist. In his other free time he enjoys socializing with friends, writing for fun, and the occasional overly-competitive game of street hockey.

Mariah Lander, Graphic Designer

Mariah was born and raised in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains in Northern California, where she moved to the San Francisco Bay Area to obtain her Bachelor of Fine Arts in drawing and design from Dominican University of California. With over fifteen years experience in the textile, fine art and print industries, she is now settled in lush Sonoma County focusing on her work as a designer, mother, and gardener.
