This year marks five incredible years with AK Jones, and we couldn't be more grateful to have her on our team. With over 30 years of experience in graphic design, AK brings not only talent but a deep understanding of visual storytelling that elevates everything we do.

From designing all of our standout swag for trade shows to infusing our social media with fresh, engaging visuals, AK is the creative force behind many of the things that make our brand shine. Her ability to merge experience with innovation makes her an invaluable part of our company.

AK doesn’t just stick to what she knows—she’s constantly learning and pushing herself. She’s added website programming to her skill set and continues to explore the latest animation techniques, keeping our digital presence modern and compelling. There’s truly nothing she can’t do when she puts her mind to it.

Beyond her professional talents, AK is a supportive team player who has earned the respect of everyone around her. She consistently delivers the quality and creativity that define our brand—and she does it with humility and heart.

Outside of work, AK is a proud mom of two talented children, Shannise and Shain, and a grandmother to three beautiful granddaughters, Alice, Penny and Laynie, who clearly inherited her creativity and spirit. AK will add a new member to her family when she welcomes her latest grandchild later this year. She brings that same care and pride into everything she does here at work.

Thank you, AK, for five outstanding years—and for sharing your passion, creativity, and dedication with us every step of the way!
