Amanda Hempel

Job Titles:
  • Senior Digital Project Manager / a University of Kansas
A University of Kansas alum, she has a fondness for all things KC. A 15-year veteran of the agency world, Amanda has earned her chops in the digital realm. Graduating with a degree in Marketing from The University of Kansas, she has a fondness for all things KC. Even with multiple plates spinning she is always on her toes, thriving on change and spontaneity. With three young kids, you'll likely see her on the soccer field, baseball field, basketball court, flag football field, at dance or gymnastics... or in the yoga studio, escaping all that. Football is her sport, so grab a beer from the kitchen and ask her about Sunday's game.

Blanca Balli

Job Titles:
  • Digital Project Manager
A former event manager turned project manager; she embraces life's experiences. Like a moth to a flame, Blanca found her way to project management through 8 years of managing live events before transitioning to the digital world. As a self-proclaimed extrovert, rest assured that if there's live music, good food, or anything else that pulls a crowd she'll be in the center of it. But catch her while you can, because there's a world to see, people to meet, and whiskey to drink!

Ryan Berry

Job Titles:

With a designer for a father and a photographer for a brother, you might say design is just in Ryan's blood. When he's not at home spending time with his wife, Cathy (also a designer), and dog, Dexter (not a designer), you'll find him at Redonk making things look pretty. He buys wine based on the label's design and judges restaurants based on how the menu is laid out. When he's not doing that, he's probably somewhere drinking a cold beer and watching his Texas Rangers.
