If you thought Donnie wears a lot of hats, wait until you read about Mr. Ball – he dons nearly as many. And, psst… he just had a birthday, so make sure to send him something hip! How long have you been with MPA? Since February 2011. What is your position and what does that entail? I do a mix of things. Some sales, some website coding, and a bit of research. What would you say is the most unique project you’ve […]
What can we say about Donnie? He’s everybody’s friend, in short. An all-around nice guy (and insanely smart, to boot!), Donnie will truly go above and beyond to help whenever, wherever needed. No question or request too big or small for him! We know you’ll enjoy reading more about Mr. Harding. What is your title and what do you do at MPA? Well, this has changed a lot since I first started here 2.5 years ago. I was initially working in Web […]
Nathan Norton is a tech-guy extraordinaire. One of the quietest among MPA employees (we’re a pretty boisterous bunch over here), I wanted to get to know him a bit better. So, I asked him to star in this month’s Q&A, and he graciously agreed. 1) How long have you been with MPA? I have been employed with MPA since March of 2013, so a little over a year now. 2) What is your role here? Information Technology and Tech Support. Just about […]
We have the pleasure of working with a great intern this Summer. His name is Nate, and we think he’s pretty great. :) Read on for more about his special project. 1) Tell us a little about yourself. Background, education, personal interest gems… My name is Nate Aeilts. I was born near Chicago and I’ve lived in central Illinois, upstate New York, southern Ohio, southeast Kentucky, and now southern Iowa. I’ve got one degree from Alice Lloyd College (BA in English with Math […]
As a creative force here at MPA, Jodie is inspired (and inspiring others!) daily. I had the wonderful opportunity to sit down with Jodie recently and ask her all about the topic. Where do you find inspiration? I find inspiration almost anywhere and I see creativity in everything. I really get inspired by things that are new and different. I’m really interested in Lettering right now. Here’s a blog I read recently and now I’m really inspired to master this. […]
We sat down with David recently to talk about some cool stuff happening in the field of Application Development. First off, what IS an application? An application is anything that performs a function on a computer, phone, tablet, or any electronic device, really. Hopefully a USEFUL function, but it doesn’t have to be. Who uses them? Pretty much everyone, from businesses (accounting, processes, day-to-day work flow) to anyone with a smart phone who has downloaded Angry Birds. What is MPA doing […]
Jodie is a great designer. She’s also a really cool person. We like to check in with her about her favorite projects now and then. 1. Working with Bare Root involved several projects. What were they? We worked on developing a logo, an Etsy Shop banner & profile Image, and Bare Root product labels. 2. What impressed you most about the products? About the company? The owner, Mona Fowler, is super sweet. And to top that off, the soaps and lotions contain natural […]
She’s is a lady of many hats. (And shoes, and handbags, and…well, you get the picture.) But really, Ms. Upton-Hill specializes in several things here – includingsocial media! For those out there who haven’t jumped onto the social media band wagon, could you give us a brief rundown of just exactly WHAT it is? Social media is basically any virtual “community” where you can interact with other people. It’s most often used by accessing an account on a website or by […]
