Graduate of the MonthIsaac Hinds, 1998 graduate
Owner, Creative Director and Editor at LIFT Studios and Hardbody
in Denver, CO
www.liftstudios.com and www.hardbody.com
High School: Elk Point High School in Elk Point, SD
What does the company do? Lift Studios: Photography, fitness consulting and video. Hardbody: Website devoted to female sports, health and fitness.
What does the graduate do? I do it all - from  books to administration to shooting and editing. For Hardbody, I design, write and edit the site. It's expanding into clothing and mobile applications. I work with some of the top athletes in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) to cover models on fitness magazines. Every day is different.

Additional Comments: I've gone from an art director intern at Bozell to a small company as an interactive creative director in Denver. I started my own business in 2003 and while it's a lot of work, I wouldn't have it any other way. You have to evolve and adapt to survive in an ever-changing world.

From the Director I'm not sure that my brain believes that it's summer. I'm not so sure that the weather has made a decision yet either! Nevertheless, my flowers are planted and my children are home and already restless. Here's to a summer of relaxation and renewal to everyone. Art Teachers, be sure to register for our Professional Development seminar. It's a fabulous opportunity to learn new illustration techniques that both you and your students will enjoy. High school seniors, let us know if you are interested in pursuing a career in graphic design and advertising. Classes for next year start on August 6, 2012.
Sincerely, Kim Guyer
