We meet as college students at the University of Arkansas. In his 5th year as an architectural student, John decided to take a graphic design class for fun. That was the same semester I took graphic design. That class was a 3-hour studio with a 15 min break in the middle where you would have the opportunity to grab a snack from the union. One day we went together to grab a snack, John got my phone number, and we've been talking ever since! - Brittnie
