Greg built his first website in 1995 using Notepad, a bootleg copy of Corel Draw, and scraps of html and javascript he stole from various websites. It was a tribute site to a video game he enjoyed - and by the end of the month over 30,000 visitors had stopped by - he was hooked!

Since then, Greg has produced everything from CD-ROMS to video-chatting applications - and more websites then he can remember.

Greg started a small web development services company in 2004 to bring together all the amazing independant talent he was meeting in and around Portland and to create the sort of websites he would enjoy visiting himself.

In 2006, Greg hired on more folks, moved the company into its current office, and changed the name to The Interactive Dept.
  

Jess has been an art director since she was about four and told her pre-school teacher that the class painting they'd worked on as a group, needed more pink in the rose.

Needless to say, Jess went on to follow the arts and graphic design all the way through college. Never the type to let much get in her way, a few months out of school she had started her own design studio, Pail Design, and ever since has been developing stellar brand identities and clean designs for a plethora of extremely happy clients.

Over the years, Jess has been passionate about giving back to her local design community by volunteering her time for various organizations, providing internship programs for many students, and founding a networking group for female entrepreneurs with events in Portland and Seattle.
