Get to know just some members of the DeWinter Communications, Inc. team:

Market research

• Marcy P. is exactly the type of person you want to oversee your research needs. She’s thorough, precise, and knows how to find the critical data you need to justify business plans, marketing plans, and campaigns. Marcy has a master’s degree in library and information services from the University of Denver. She also apprenticed for nearly two years with a veteran market researcher. Her research services have helped businesses assess market and product potential, minimize risk, and improve long-term planning. And after years of driving a minivan, she’s really excited about her hot new convertible.

Graphic design

• Jason O. – Jason recently was named to the Denver Business Journal’s “40 Under 40” list for being a mover and shaker within his field. Jason has served as an agency principal, an adjunct professor in design at Metro State College of Denver, and recently was commissioned to co-write a book on design trends. He’s got a great laugh, a ton of energy, and has won more design awards than you could count. And his vast collection of vintage comic books and action toys will fill you with shock and awe.
  
• Ellen S. – Ellen is a veteran designer with a classy, thoughtful approach that’s the result of also obtaining a Masters in Communications. She looks like a cool Hitchcock blonde, but don’t be fooled. Her designs are strategic and HOT.
  
• Marty G.– Marty has been working as a designer so long that it’s hard to think he was ever a beginner. He has roughly 25 years of experience in design, and has worked locally, regionally and nationally on high-profile projects. He also has put a strong stamp on Denver, and you will find evidence of his work reflected in many well-known landmarks, buildings, and signage systems. We’re long-time friends and colleagues, and we can pretty much finish each other’s sentences as we’re brainstorming.
  
• Lynn M. – Lynn has a gorgeous studio that overlooks the foothills leading to the mountains, and she’s as solid as the Rockies. Creative. Honest. Fast-working, and affordable (although she’s got 15 years of experience).

Web developers

• David G. – David is a talented Web designer who handles modest to mid-size projects as a free-lancer. He has excellent design skills -- for Web and print applications. He specializes in taking ho-hum sites and turning them into something that's relevant for the particular business, and yet has pizzaz and a fresh, new feel.
  
• Doug H. – Doug looks and talks like a scientist. But you’ll be thrilled at the precision and care he applies when designing and building Web sites. They work the minute they “go live.” And he’s always there with ideas to help modify them and keep them fresh as the years roll by.

Photographers

• Frank O. – Frank’s portfolio features an incredible array of people portraits from the far corners of the world, as well as some of the best architectural photography you’ll find in this region and beyond. Frank used to be an architect, so he understands all that stuff about lines, planes, angles, and light. He’s been known to camp in one spot for hours waiting for just the right light. This results in incredible photographs that highlight your facility’s best attributes. Frank is European and you could say he’s the James Bond of photographers: literate, elegant, action-oriented, and a thorough pleasure to have on a long shoot. (Where’s the martini?)
  
• Kim C. – If anyone can liven up a group of people or get them to adopt just the right attitude and position, Kim is your photographer. She’s not afraid to climb on scaffolding or get down on her knees in the dirt (usually in her white trousers) to get the right angle for the shot. She’s done work for a great many annual reports and has a real gift for working with people to get expressions so powerful or poignant, they’ll make your jaw drop.
  
• Jim Y. – Jim is a veteran photographer who’s made an elegant switch from film to digital – so he has great abilities to work with light and weird conditions, while also being able to shoot digitally and do Photoshop with the best of them. He’s got a grin as wide as the Grand Canyon, a portfolio the size of the Grand Canyon, and he always gets the shot.
