Ashley Horsley - Graphic Designer Ashley is a double threat. She graduated Cum Laude from the University of North Texas with a BFA in Communication Design AND a minor in English and Creative Writing. If that is not enough, she also was the design portfolio review winner 3 years in a row and her work was featured in the Graphis New Talent Annual. She brings to MOD over 4 years of experience providing clients with exemplary logo and identity designs. This Texas native volunteers at the Humane Society and enjoys baking, cheering on the Texans and Rockets, and fine art.

His clean and artistic style enhances his ability to execute spectacular identity and branding projects. With a rich background in working for prestigious agencies and design studios, Trayce has produced a wide range of designs from corporate identity and direct mail to technical drawings, traditional non-digital illustrations, digital 3-D product, and scene modeling. When Trayce is not cranking out award-winning ideas, this technology enthusiast enjoys playing the guitar and cheering on the Texas Longhorns.
Emily Purvis - Creative Intern Emily is a social media junkie. She loves to keep the world constantly updated about her “exciting” activities. Her credentials?  Well she interned at Brides of Oklahoma Magazine where she kept brides-to-be updated on all things weddings in their daily blog. Then, she graduated from Oklahoma State University with a BA in Advertising where she was awarded membership in Alpha Delta Sigma Honor Society and spent an absurd amount of hours in the journalism labs designing her life away. On the weekend, you'd find Emily running around Town Lake or scribbling away in her notebook and nursing her coffee-that-doesn’t-taste-like-coffee-because-it-has-so-much-sugar addiction at the local java joint.
