With over 20 years of experience, Jaclyn is passionate about helping companies ramp up their brands, captivate their audiences, and take their businesses to new heights. She loves using her knowledge of strategic marketing, branding, and demand generation which has led her to working in marketing leadership roles in companies of all sizes, from tech start-ups to publicly traded companies. But that’s not all she’s passionate about. Admittedly, Jaclyn is pretty smitten with her babies – Emma (16) and Anderson (7 months), two dogs, and husband, Ben. That’s right, Jaclyn has a teenager and a baby – coffee is her best friend! While a bit nerdy, outside of the office Jaclyn is obsessed with research, and loves reading, cooking, jigsaw puzzles, reading, and…..reading. Yes, totally nerdy, but we love her for it!
Growing up Grisson had two loves, art and science, and discovered the perfect blend of the two in the field of graphic design. With over 20 years of experience, Grisson has worked with everyone from start-ups to Fortune 500 companies in the banking, consumer goods, tech, and apparel industries. He has twice been awarded the London International Advertising Award and has been published in the Graphis Interactive Design Annual. When he’s not leading the creative team, you’ll catch Grisson running, quoting podcasts and spending quality time with his wife and their twins, whom he has officially branded N&M.
Katelyn joined The Grove team in 2012 after making the thirteen-hour trek from the swamplands of Louisiana to the mountains of North Carolina. A graduate of Louisiana Tech University, Katelyn’s road to design started much earlier in life through countless studio art courses – eventually leading to a BFA in Communication Design.
Obsessed with form and composition, Katelyn applies her knowledge of the arts to every design project at The Grove. And although she is a total color theory nerd, her wardrobe consists mostly of black, navy, and gray.
When she’s away from The Grove, Katelyn can be found traveling home for a good southern meal, learning how to drive in the snow (aka avoiding the snow altogether), or walking her ‘boxador’ pup named Luna.
A self-proclaimed Winston-Salem native, Will joined The Grove team in late 2017. A graduate of Western Carolina University, Will spent 5 years forging a path in design through the valleys and rivers of western North Carolina. After getting his feet wet designing can labels for some of North Carolina’s premier craft breweries, Will was jonesing for that sweet, Reynolds Tobacco air back home in Winston-Salem.
With a passion for brand and identity design, Will brings a thoughtful yet lighthearted viewpoint to the creative team. He enjoys diving deep into client briefs, has learned to #TrustTheProcess and is never afraid to throw in a good pun when needed.
When he’s not designing, Will can be found in the far corners of an art gallery, hole #8 at the Stonewall Disc Golf course, man-splaining why you should drink IPAs, or ranting about a font choice on a sign.
A Winston-Salem native, you could call Brad an outdoor enthusiast with a passion for technology. Over the 10+ years he’s been tinkering around with websites, Brad has worked on a wide range of projects from small personal sites to award winning news publications to building e-commerce platforms that generate hundreds of thousands in online sales. When he’s not building websites you’ll probably find him in the woods exploring some new single track or ripping through the neighborhood with his son on a coaster bike.
