“Working with the Q Digital Studio team has been an awesome experience. I wholeheartedly recommend them!” - Nora Swan-Foster
Susan is Q Digital Studio’s fearless leader. She chaired the first AIGA (Re)designAwards show to recognize sustainable design, and is a former member of AIGA Colorado’s executive board. She has taught as an adjunct faculty member at Rocky Mountain College of Art + Design. Susan likes IKEA furniture, making lists and live music.
Laura is a print and web designer at Q Digital Studio. She has a keen eye for detail - no pixels out of place! She has produced award-winning pieces and is winner of an American Graphic Design Award. Laura likes mountain biking, skiing, car camping with her blow up air mattress, and rocking the drum set.
Lindsay is Q Digital Studio’s writer and content specialist. She develops heady technical jargon into clear, coherent (and optimized) content. She has a knack for finding just the right words - but only after she’s had a nice cup of coffee (or two). She happily dives into the depths of the Internet on a daily basis. Lindsay has worked as a writer and editor the world over.
Clinton is a back-end developer at Q Digital Studio who lives and breathes code. He is Q Digital’s resident problem-solver; if he can’t fix it, he’ll just create new code or a shiny new add-on. When he’s not problem-solving at the studio, he’s likely under the hood of a car or remodeling his house.
Holly Gerard is a designer at Q Digital Studio who creates for both print and web. She’ll make it look good whether it’s on-screen or off. When Holly doesn’t have her designer’s eye at work on a project, it’s usually behind the lens of a camera. Holly loves crafting a good homebrew, baking up something tasty or Yelping at some of the new places around town.
Mike Wenger is a front-end designer and developer at Q Digital Studio. Mike’s background is in Visual Communications, and his creative roots run deep. A transplant from Ohio, Mike enjoys all the great outdoors that Colorado has to offer. While out and about, Mike can be found kayaking, cycling, backpacking and hiking – and spending time with his wife, Nicole, and their two dogs.

Let's talk about automation. From Merriam-Webster, automation is "the technique of making an apparatus, a process, or a system operate automatically".
