Yeah, what are those colors?
Justin Difazzio
WriterJustin is the first person in history to actually use their English degree. We make him write everything. Except this. So it's probably poorly written. But trust us, he's like, really, really good.
Jack
Harriet the Spy
Amy Oster
Account Director/VPAmy makes everyone she works with look good. No, really. She does makeup for photoshoots. Amy runs on moscato, the smell of fresh brownies, and a good text convo. Don't EVER put mocha in her coffee.
Documentaries, am I right?
Momofteenagers
Sports nut

Katie Hemmeter
Web DirectorKatie is actually a sentient house plant that we taught to do web development. It's pretty advanced science.... We should probably publish and get rich. BRB. PS - you can totally put mocha in her coffee.
Aquarius
I wish I could, but I don't want to. - P.B.

Fun Fact: She can sing “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” both one word ahead and one word behind the melody…and now it’s difficult to actually sing it properly.
Leslie Latimer
Design DirectorLeslie is dope. She's like, super talented and junk. She'll design your stuff and you'll love it. For real. You'll be all, "I love it!" She likes to hand letter stuff, and it's neato torpedo. She's one cool lady. Be like Leslie.
Plant mom
Bikes like whoa
Baker of pies
Brian Oster
Creative Director/PresidentBrian always has ideas. If you need one, he'll gladly lend it! Just feed him all the coffee, and give him a challenge. He'll take care of the rest.
Loves to dissect commercials
Bad dad jokes
Oven-fresh Italian bread
Sara Myers
Project ManagerSara will drink your coffee if you leave it unattended. So, watch out. She's a Sagittarius, a Slytherin, and does not enjoy long walks on the beach. Her personal motto is "Get stuff done...and always carry Kleenex."

Allergic to everything
Cleaning products

Fun Fact: She knows five languages and is working on a sixth!
Lynn Parker

Grandma of 6!

June Oster
VideographerJune taught herself videography at a young age with a few YouTube videos and lots of intuition. A problem solver for all things relating to video and tech, she works best with a cat in her lap. We think she's pretty awesome, and you will too!
Cuddly Cats!
ALL THE COFFEE
Video Game Lover

Rachel Clarke
Social Media Manager & VideographerIf you follow OC, you know we always have a Rachel on our team, and this Rachel is pretty amazing. She likes space, video production, and Nintendo. Put her in a comfy room and watch her beat Mario in one go. Just include bathroom breaks for Rachel and her furry, four-legged friend, Cosmo.
Interstellar

Bucket list item: make a documentary

Austin Wilson
Video Project ManagerAlthough Austin likes the typical quiet time and chick flicks, he breaks that mold shouting at his team when playing Rocket League. When he’s not playing at the extremes of sound, he hikes, camps, and dresses up for the Ren Faire.
Dog Dad
Dipping Sauce Fanatic
Psych

Darren Lilke
Video DirectorDarren's mantra is "There is no such thing as bad pizza." Well, Darren, what about a tuna pizza? Huh? Tuna pizza with tapioca topping? Mmm. But honestly, Darren's a cool dude. We decided to keep him.
Mountains = happy place

All-in on Baby Yoda!

Dana Herra
WriterDana's an awesome writer. For real, she has bunches of awards and stuff. She also has a loud voice, a keen fashion sense, and a mild obsession with the color orange.

Zach Lynde
VideographerZach. If you're doing a video, you want Zach on your crew. He's baller. Although he promised us he'd bring us pizza someday, and we still haven't gotten pizza...

Laura Harcar
DesignerThis is some stuff about Laura. She's super duper cool. And really nice. And fashionable. Laura. She's the bee's knees. Her favorites are branding and making new logos.

Dan Kapper
VideographerDan is a master storyteller. Also, he's super symmetrical. We did that thing where we cut our faces in half in Photoshop and pasted the halves together and Dan's halves match really well.

Brooke Stonebraker
DesignerBrooke wows on all fronts! She's studying Visual Communication, playing basketball on the NIU women's basketball team, and embracing her creative side in all ventures. When she's not hanging with friends and family, she runs a side gig baking and decorating cakes and cupcakes.

Isabel Feldhaus
Digital MarketerIsabel is our very own digital guru. When she's not dishing out digital content, you can catch her line dancing or photographing weddings. Ask her about coffee—she roasts her own beans!

What does "OC" stand for?
We get this question a lot. And while the answer may be "nothing" (we swear!), we'd like to think it stands for some of the below.
