Araña Schulke

Over the past few years I’ve pushed pixels for big companies, freelanced for startups, designed for contemporary art museums, and herded sheep in Iceland. 

My name is Araña Schulke and I’m a designer from Albuquerque, New Mexico. Designing print and digital content is my strong suit but I also love public speaking, writing, social media, and creating things with my hands the old-fashioned way. Thanks for checking out my work!

Laura Joyce-Hubbard

Mother Goose Photography

Laura Joyce-Hubbard is the sole photographer of Mother Goose Photography. Pictured (left) at 4, Laura, next to her brother, mother and the beloved family boxer, greet her Dad coming home from work to their sailboat “Mother Goose”. Although they all loved aboard for 11 years, this is one of the only pictures that she has of her childhood days aboard the Mother Goose. Laura named her photography business as a tribut to her days growing up on the old wooden ketch. Although the pictures are scarce, the memories of a natural childhood are grand.

Her children have been the inspiration for Laura to develop her photographic passion into a profession following her career as a pilot in the Air Force and commercial airline industry. Her work has been exhibited internationally.

Jo Ana Kubiak

Jo Ana Kubiak creates remarkable content and experiences by viewing projects through an interdisciplinary lens, being sensitive to the consumer’s experience, challenging common assumptions and keeping things authentic.

“I process the world in a creative way. This characteristic manifests itself through problem solving, idea generation and visual inspiration. I’ve found keeping my hands in the process of physical creation not only allows for a quiet place where unique ideas are born, but it keeps me in touch with the creative process, design thinking. The fast iteration, the clashing of unlike ideas for something new, play, and the standing back to assess whether to scrap the work entirely or turn it upside-down for something new.”
