  • CREATIVE MARKETING ASSISTANT

    Riley is from KC, but found her home in Omaha while studying Journalism & Media Communication at UNO. She’s since made her way to SLC and back to KC where she has established herself as a fine line tattoo artist (like, how cool, right!?). She’s always up for an adventure and a game of pickleball!

    She’s dabbled in all things Marketing, from social media, to graphic design, to photography! She loves working with her community and making an impact anywhere she can.


  • CREATIVE MARKETING ASSISTANT

    Kaitlyn is a talented artist and graphic designer with a passion for marketing who recently graduated from UNO with a Bachelor of Arts. She loves a good cup of coffee while listening to her favorite LoFi playlist, and watching the midwest sunsets.

    She has a huge passion for art and is always willing to try new things and learn new skills (which is just one reason why we love her!)
