Beth enjoys the entire KINETIK design process and blends her love of typography and images with client messages to develop powerful print work. Conceptual and crafty, when not creating brochures and logos, Beth may turn discarded wire into a piece of modern jewelry.

BEVERLEY HUNTER

With her degree in graphic design, Beverley brings an uncommon outlook to her role as KINETIK's production manager.

She is our primary contact with suppliers: the traditional print shop, the specialty box manufacturer, the industry's leading CD-ROM producer. Beverley's attention to detail and her superb negotiating skills ensure that each project—a 1-inch square key chain, a 64-page 6-color publication or a 7-foot tall banner—meets KINETIK's standards of quality.
