Ryan Flannagan
CEO
He is well-known in the community for strong involvement, candor and leadership, as well as for his commitment to generously contributing in-kind services to nonprofits.
Ian Fox
CTO
Born in a small town in the west, Ian spent most of his life in the dustbowl of Tucson, riding horses to and from his one-room school where he recited arithmetic facts for hours at a time. This proved to be the highlight of his days, and inspired him to get a bachelors and masters in Mathematics at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff.
Post-college, he spends most of his time creating programs for “computers” – machines which can, basically, recite the arithmetic facts of his youth – but now billions of these facts, every second! It continues to delight and amaze him, no matter how many times he makes use of them.
Steven Edwards
COO
In Steven’s free time, you may find him playing drums or listening to music. After meeting Steven, you might find that you both have a few common music interests, as he has a passion for all types of music. Steven also enjoys going to the movies and playing video games. He always enjoys going to new places and trying new things.
Chelsea Kohagura
Business Manager
When she’s not working she’s traveling or exploring something new. She loves to find the good in everything, helping wherever she can and being close to her family. Downtown is her happy place as she’s still a city girl at heart.
Nikita Babichev
Creative Director
Nikita was sent from Russia to join the best marketing agency in the Southwest. He is so old that he started to design when to draw a line took you coding “line (20,20)-(30,50),1”. However today he is armed with classic art education and modern graphic design weapons and always ready to go extra mile taking care of our projects.
When not designing he fixes things which his little daughters destroyed in his absence.
Cody Kennedy
Senior Strategist
Growing up in the dust of the southwest, Cody developed a fascination with film, music, and art, which led him to pursue his undergraduate studies in Cinematic Arts at the University of Southern California. There he developed a keen interest in the potential of the internet and new media to influence people and culture, while also remaining an advocate of the power of personal narrative storytelling in an increasingly abstract media landscape. Cody was most recently coordinator of National Commercial Accounts for a major environmental services company, and also brings to the table years of experience in the AV industry, in video production, editing, audio mixing and live videography.
When he’s not furiously typing at a keyboard or running around with a camera on his shoulders, Cody enjoys playing with his infant daughter, cooking various kinds of pasta, noodling on synths and guitar, and taking his S.O. to movies at the Loft Cinema and to drink in the saloons of Bisbee, AZ.
Stephanie Stanley
Senior Account Executive
After growing up in the midwest, Stephanie took the leap to move to Tucson for a new adventure. Her background is in event planning, where she helped create fun and educational events for non-profit organizations. This gave her the skills to juggle multiple projects at once while maintaining excellent customer service. She is very involved in her new community as a Board Chair for the local Public Relations Society of America chapter.
When she is not at work or working in the community, Stephanie can be found on hiking trails with her husband and their two pups, trying out local restaurants and breweries, or planning her next trip to somewhere new!
