Holly began Spidr Design in 2002 determined to make internet marketing simple for clients. To this day, she is still committed to developing solutions that exceed business needs and end user expectations. Holly has built, managed and grown a talented and driven team that provides a creative approach to digital marketing. Holly enjoys showing off her knowledge of heavy equipment, geek pop culture and pictures of her family. When Holly is not in the office, you can find her making homemade treats for her family, watching NASA live streams or playing dress up with her bearded dragon.
Ed has been supporting Spidr Design since day one, but formally since 2008. As product development lead on special projects, Ed is Spidr Design's very own Mr. Fix-It. From debugging programming problems to acting as the safety patrol when maintenance around the office is needed, Ed keeps everything in tip-top shape at all times. Living up to his 'Fowler' name, Ed enjoys spotting falcons, blue heron and bald eagles flying around the Spidr Design office. In his free time, Ed enjoys running outside, both for fun and in various distance races - from 5Ks all the way up to the Chicago Marathon!
Justin is the glue that holds our office together (and keeps us laughing). In addition to being the coolest dude in the office, he sports an analytical, detail oriented brain that makes him perfect for developing wireframes, managing detailed projects and analyzing web analytics data. And yes, if the face looks familiar, you probably recognize him from his mad drum skills which you can see throughout Illinois and most recently in Nashville, Tennessee. The rock 'n roll lifestyle also pays off for us in the office, where we get to enjoy Justin's musical selections on Spotify (especially on 'Gangsta Rap Mondays').
Winning the award for cutest name in the office while having the ability to throw the hardest punch, Miss Kirby is a multi-faceted powerhouse of awesomeness. With a Masters of Arts and Sciences in Communications from Illinois State University, she truly masters her accounts by making sure that no client need goes unmet. Kirby is process-oriented and dedicated to ensuring tasks are completed on time, every time. When she’s not eating healthy at the office, Kirby is at home taking care of her adorable kids and menagerie of pets.
Jessica is a tried and true project manager by day and a project-go-getter by night, tackling not only her work tasks but also her love for home, garden and Etsy projects. With a background in large scale trade shows, no project is too big and no problem too small for her to accomplish. When it comes to client needs, Jessica goes above and beyond to communicate progress, processes and deadlines to ensure everything is on track and up to par with client expectations. When Jessica isn't working on a designated project, you can find her spending time with her family and rescue pups.
When it comes to focus, patience and determination, Brian is the reigning king. While spending hours a day writing copy for various equipment parts may sound tedious to some, Brian handles daunting amounts of work with ease and not a single complaint to date. Brian grew up on the east coast and after a brief stint working in education, he took a leap and moved to Chicago without knowing anyone in the area or having a plan, except to see what he could make of it. That willingness to take chances and make the most of any given situation is reflected in his ability to meet client needs, regardless of the ask.
Heather is our Southern belle and works remotely from South Carolina, so when we are in the thick of Chicago winters, Heather is a ray of sunshine, both in spirit and physical location. When it comes to client tasks, Heather is always attentive and responsive. Her caring nature is a valuable asset both in her work and at home with her daughter, husband and pup. Heather enjoys spending time exploring and photographing nature with her family, whether that be hiking or beach-side.
Joining Spidr fresh out of college, Lauren is a heavy hitter, majoring in both graphic design and marketing. When she isn’t building out client and customer emails, Lauren enjoys crocheting, memorizing scenes from The Office and creating any coffee concoction you can imagine. Her sunny disposition and willingness to tackle any project that is thrown her way makes her an appreciated and valued member of our team. Whether she is teaching the office a new craft or filling us in on the latest reality TV gossip, Lauren keeps us all young and hip.
Originally from Richmond, Virginia (which she will remind you is for lovers), Abby Reasor is our resident "puzzler". She's applying her degree in Communications / PR to organize and visualize digital content. When she's not solving puzzles in the Sitecore content management system, Abby loves trying new vegan foods (especially sweet treats) and thrift shopping. If you have an opportunity to play Disney trivia with her, be warned that she not only loves Disney, she even worked at Disney World in their college program, so the probability of coming out unscathed is slim.
The first rule of working at Spidr is that you don't talk about being named after Tyler Durden. Tyler Quinn joined the Spidr team in early 2023 from his previous job as a soap salesman, er... fresh out of college where he majored in Computer Science with a concentration in mobile computing. When he's not coordinating web development projects, he enjoys hanging out with his bengal cat, Garfield, visiting libraries and basking in hot summer weather.
Coming in strong with a major in Marketing and a minor in Digital Marketing Communications, Alyssa has already showed up and showed out. She is Spidr's social media guru and has already brought her fresh ideas to our clients in order to get them up to speed with the forever changing trends. The second oldest of five, Alyssa has a knack for taking responsibility of anything thrown her way and does it with patience and grace. When she's not managing client (or Spidr) social media accounts, Alyssa can be found spending time with her favorite humans, exploring everything the great outdoors have to offer and laughing until her stomach hurts.
When he’s not volunteering at nonprofits or producing wildly popular content on social media, Shafique enjoys bike riding, traveling, the great outdoors and cricket. But to us, he’s a master of digital marketing — literally. Our resident Web Analyst and dashboard guru sports a Master’s degree in Marketing Analytics from the Illinois Institute of Technology. He hopes to take his passion for marketing, ecommerce and data all the way to a PhD.
Sarah is our stalwart Office Manager/Executive Assistant who stands between us and chaos. She recently graduated from the University of Missouri, Columbia, with a BA in Journalism, focusing on strategic communication. She’s hardcore into fitness, sports, art, and everything to do with summer… and she wants you to know she has green eyes! In between White Sox games, she enjoys scarfing Chicago-style hotdogs (no ketchup, please), she bakes, travels, listens to Taylor Swift, and visits museums and US National Parks. Green eyes!
IN SLOW MOTION - Kaitlyn raises her hands to her keyboard, her fingers settling gently on the keys. Behind her, on the wall, the second hand of the clock slows to a halt. WE SEE images of sunny LA and blustery Chicago; of Kaitlyn putting the finishing touches on a birthday cake, drawing, playing piano, coaching JV water polo, receiving a degree in Film & TV Production for screenwriting. She takes a deep breath, pauses (one beat, two beats), then lets it out, nodding her approval. She posts the new content.
FADE OUT.
