ABOUT US
Folkes and Tyre…F and T, FaT – get it?
Jeanette Folkes was born in captivity at the Bronx Zoo. Her talent for mimicry enabled her to escape among the humans, make her way to the Big Apple, (which she was disappointed to learn was not REALLY an apple), and find employment with various high-falutin companies like Ogilvy and Mather, ModemMedia, Grey Direct and The NPD Group providing Quality Assurance and HTML expertise. Seeking a more tropical climate and a city that names it’s streets all the same thing, she made her way to Georgia where she spends her days making the FAT designs actually work, searching for real NY pizza, and listening for tornado alarms. She heads up our technical group, and is always willing to try something new, push the envelope a little further.
Lisa Tyre heads up our creative group. She grew up in the hills of Zollicoffer, Tennessee, staring out the window at the bar her father owned and thinking, “that sure looks like fun.” Bolstered by years of grits, fried green tomatoes and sarcasm, she made her way to Middle Tennessee State University where she found a love for advertising, and a dislike for most everything else. Releasing herself on her own recogninces, she landed at Portfolio Center, learned everything she could about shooting 4x5 film, forgot it all and went digital. Now she works tirelessly bringing her design and photography experience together to make the worldwide web a more beautiful place. Some might call it a ministry. She just calls it fun.
