Meet Arlene

The doyenne of design.

No, no wait... she’ll hate that. I mean, she likes design, but doyenne is over the top. What about a creature of creativity? Vizier of visuals? A crayon geek?

Basically, she makes things make sense, then makes them look good. There’s probably a word for that. If you know it, please email. In other words...

Arlene is the Creative Principal at 5 after 9. In the industry for over 20 years, her experience spans content architecture, strategic thinking and tactical execution, process and marketing analysis. Plus all things creative and fun. Yes, she thinks process analysis is fun. Go figure.

Meet Doug

The object-oriented poet.

A real Lord Byron of programmers, penning elegant code, and front- and back-end development, even swoon-worthy sound and motion.

Oops! I'm about to lose my writing rights for suggesting he's a lace-trimmed, regency dandy. So I'll end by saying — He's thoroughly modern and very advanced. But seriously folks...

Doug is the Interactive Principal at 5 after 9. For over 20 years, he’s reveled in the constant change that is the design industry. A multi-discipline programmer and developer he also writes music for 5 after 9 projects. Plus he’s got The Voice. Just call us sometime and ask for him.

Meet Kim

Jane of all trades. Princess of protocol. Organizer of everything.

Yes, yes, all those and more but what does she DO all day?

Problem solve. Communicate. Follow up. Write copy. Enter data. Brainstorm. Contribute web expertise. Champion accessible web applications. Critique others’ work. Smile. Rinse. Repeat. Translation...

Kim is Director of Organizational Development at 5 after 9. She has 12 years of experience in web development, copywriting and project management.

Kim thinks listening, really listening, is the most highly underrated skill out there.
