Don't laugh, but I started in this industry back before there were computers! The typesetters still had machines that used lead pigs. We designed with pencils and markers and marked up tissues back then. I started right out of college in a national award winning ad agency. I moved into publishing and became the youngest art director in the company. That's where I was introduced to computers. I worked on computers before there was WYSIWYG!

Cory tortured himself as a faux-Econ major for two years before realizing his true calling as a graphic designer. Cory pays an unhealthy amount of attention to his favorite sports teams, reads the Sunday newspaper only for the ads and prefers cats to dogs. Cory has been a Jaguarian since November 2004 and is still confused by the law of diminishing returns.

Hailing from the far away land of Germany, Liv first became a member of the Jaguar family in October, 2006. Liv has a Bachelor of Fine Arts in graphic design from Georgia State University. She has been doing design for over 8 years and the German in her keeps everything orderly, yet beautiful. Liv lives in Annapolis, Maryland with her husband and two sons. When she is not tied to the computer or busy taking care of her brood, she likes to explore the outdoors or stroll around historic Annapolis.
Like many products of the Valley, Brendon eats, sleeps, and breathes technology. Only in his case, the Valley he's from is the San Joaquin. Surrounded by farmland on all sides, Brendon spent his younger years tinkering with every piece of tech he could get his hands on. He got started in web development in high school, creating a video game reviews website, and managed to attract companies like Sony and Sega into providing review copies of games for coverage. (It was the late '90s, nobody knew any better).

Best known as a musically-inclined pianist, Sebastian joined Jaguar as a web developer in early 2010. He eagerly awaits the newest and coolest technologies that make user interaction and functionality an ongoing joy. With a highly diverse background spanning the areas of new media, web development, and video, Sebastian is a perfect fit.
Robert has a strange but compelling background; how many people do you know have both a BS in Computer Science and and a MLIS in Library and Information Science? I'm guessing the answer is zero. He currently enjoys working with the buzzwords like Rails, PHP, HTML5, CSS3, and JQuery. He also helped start a non-profit that's going to save the world. Robert learned two super important lessons in kindergarten that has stayed with him to this day; play nice and don't cut in line.
Jeremy became a Jaguar in Fall 2011 and has been purring ever since he got here. When he is not in the jungle, he is taking courses to earn a BS in Computer Science, but don't let the lack of a BS degree fool you. About a year after Google Search hit the Internet, Jeremy stumbled upon a HTML tutorial book in his 5th grade book order catalog; after writing a couple of pages he was hooked. Lately he has been working with HTML5, jQuery, CSS3, and the Ruby on Rails framework to develop web applications.
Noni (who just happens to be Linda's Mom) joined the Jaguar team at its inception. The plan was for her to stay a year to get the systems into place. She was having so much fun that she is still here. Noni comes from a varied background, first as a baker, a bookkeeper and then twenty-five years as a landscape designer. She has gone full circle since she is once again keeper of the dough.
Terry joined the jamboree as Linda’s assistant in April 2011.
She graduated from UCSC with a BA in Theatre Arts with an emphasis on Stage Management. She successfully transferred those skills to office management and has been telling people what to do and when to do it ever since.
They don’t call her ItineTerry for nothin’.
