CHIEF CREATIVE OFFICER

Raised with a cell phone in one hand and a croissant in the other, this design dynamo went from dodging puddles in Hinsdale to dodging mopeds on Parisian boulevards.

Honed a killer eye for style with 15 whirlwind years in the world’s fashion capital (and still corrects friends’ scarf knots for sport).

Now slinging digital design with a gaze so fresh, even websites get stage fright.

Solution whisperer: translates “execution-focused” and “solution-oriented” into “you’ll actually sleep at night.”

Brings global flair, a witty glare, and a knack for turning “just an idea” into “where do I sign?”

Rumor has it they can spot a Pantone mismatch at 100 paces and negotiate a deadline extension in flawless Franglais.

PRESIDENT/OWNER

If you’re looking for someone to boss around, keep searching—he’s already claimed that title. Thirty-six years ago, he swapped his paintbrushes for power ties and founded this agency, charming Fortune 500 companies one pixel at a time.

Converts mind-bogglingly complex products into visual masterpieces that even your grandma would get.

Relentlessly passionate about typography, whether it’s kerning or correcting ransom notes in movies.

Side hustles: devouring cartel biographies (strictly for research), and winning pesto cook-offs no one knew were happening.

Life motto: “Make it simple, make it striking, and never trust store-bought basil.”

Legend has it, he can spot a bad font from fifty yards and identify a garlic clove variety by scent alone.

SENIOR COPYWRITER

Copywriting Storyteller. Editing Sleuth. Caffeine Connoisseur.

Her unwavering devotion: wordplay—though she’ll occasionally ghost the Oxford comma.

Pioneered her writing career with epic quizzes like “What Kind of Toaster Are You?” (results were life-changing).

Has survived and thrived in agencies of every climate, from bustling startup jungles to buttoned-up corporate tundras, before happily discovering ML+A: where great ideas, decent snacks, and mild puns abound.

Ideates with flair, edits with surgical precision, and approaches every latte like a sacred ritual (the barista knows her order—and her dog’s name).

In local legend, she’s credited with fixing typos on restaurant chalkboards and winning the agency’s semi-annual Latte Fact-Off…twice.
