PARTNER BIO — JAI SUH
As a Creative Director for brand marketing and advertising strategies, Jai’s expertise is in brand storytelling through engaging video production, social media campaigns, and viral video channels. His enthusiastic clients have raved about his talent for taking their creative aspirations and turning them into innovative yet affordable realities. He knows how to bring options to the table that make an art director relax rather than sweat about complexity and cost. Jai’s knowledge and technical savvy allows clients to focus on achieving their strategic, timeline and financial goals rather than being distracted by the technical details.
When not at CMA, Jai Suh enjoys snowboarding, skateboarding, traveling, and being a new father to a beautiful girl named Poppy.
PARTNER BIO — GARY HURLEY
Gary draws on two decades of communications and technology experience to oversee marketing and communications initiatives for a wide variety of clients. Prior to co-founding CMA, Gary held IT management positions at Immunex Corporation and Delrina Corporation, with responsibilities for communications and technology. Like Jai and Ryan, Gary wears many hats at CMA. Although he has a very strong IT background and loves finding great technology solutions for clients, he’s also passionate about great design—whether it's websites, logos... or chicken coops.
Outside of CMA, Gary enjoys his summer cycling commute, winter snowboarding, and year-round dog wrangling with Eloise and Izzy (who double as office mascots). Gary lives in Ballard with his wife Kelley and hails from Dublin, Ireland, but good luck discerning an accent!
PARTNER BIO — RYAN FANSLER
With over 10 years of design and marketing experience, Ryan really shines in most aspects of graphic design as well as front-end web design and static and dynamic CSS/HTML site construction. His technical know-how extends to open source CMS development with systems like Drupal, Joomla, and WordPress, as well as with E-Commerce platforms such as XCART, osCommerce, and Magento. Along with his considerable technical expertise, Ryan’s commitment to good design as a visual extension of a company’s brand allows our team to develop cohesive programs connecting all areas of design and development from the ground up.
As a third generation Seattle native, Ryan enjoys all two of our seasons, and makes the most of each one, whether it be snowboarding in the Cascades or swimming in Puget Sound.
