About

If the project or campaign needs to be beautiful, and you want to enjoy the creative process especially on non-profit or illustrative work, Jean’s your woman. As our CEO, she makes the call on the business aspects of Klündt Hosmer, but her passion is in work that builds community and improves lives. All her projects reflect her big-heartedness and love of humanity. It's a delicate balance to run a successful business and be an altruist at the same time. But Jean makes it look easy.

Darin is the personification of doing it right and strives to deliver outstanding creative work on every project. His dedication to quality is apparent in the award-winning work of the dozens of designers fortunate enough to have Darin's mentorship and art direction over the years. His leadership as CCO, internal drive, and focus on excellence helps Klündt Hosmer accomplish great (some might even say impossible) things, and our clients benefit from his vision.

To Rick, words—whether written or spoken—are a big deal. A talented illustrator, Rick’s career evolved from the visual into the realm of concept development and writing. Rick's acuity for language is powerful whether he is drafting research findings, nailing the perfect three-word tagline, or positioning a client for marketing success. Rick grasps all aspects of business and its challenges. His insights benefit both our clients and creative team.

Diane has an insatiable drive to learn and succeed. She excels in developing comprehensive brand strategies, implementing measurable digital marketing, writing great content, and creating SEO success. Data is paramount to Diane and it's impressive how she uses it to improve user experience and client results. She received her BFA from the University of Idaho in 1994 and earned her Master of Arts in Communication and Leadership from Gonzaga University in 2021. Outside the office, Diane is an adjunct at Whitworth University and teaches digital marketing.

Annie works with our team’s Account Executives and clients to coordinate project needs. Her detailed organization (“I know right where that is”), insane memory (“That was exactly three months ago at 2:30 pm”), and clear communication (“I’ll resend that email so its easy for you to access”) keep us and all our projects on track. Annie knows this business inside and out, and her sense of humor belies her seriousness.

Jessica came to Spokane to play soccer on the SFCC women’s team and completed her education with degrees in English and Writing from EWU, where she also worked as a lifeguard. Jessica taught kindergarten at St. Aloysius for four years (fantastic training for coordinating our team), then managed 401(k) plans for the Principal Financial Group. At Klündt Hosmer, she puts her organization and detail skills to work coordinating our team, vendors, and clients to successfully launch projects.

Chris ensures we send clear and accurate client invoices, vendor bills are paid promptly, and accounts are kept current. When not crunching numbers and tallying time entries, Chris is outdoors—deer hunting, camping, and kayaking. She fashions beads, stones, and silver wire into elaborate, wearable art in her well-appointed home craft studio. But, despite her fun side, Chris will still call if an invoice is overdue.

Corporate design tends to appear staid—unless Tiffany Patterson is involved. Tiffany brings refreshing creativity to everything she does. As a designer, she creates print marketing and websites that accomplish our client's goals. But occasionally, those goals are best achieved by unleashing Tiffany's whimsical, artistic talent and energy. When that happens, you never know what you'll receive, but you can be sure it will be great.

A self-proclaimed "typographically obsessed, graphic design workhorse," Evan designs pieces, websites, digital advertising, and other projects with the Klündt Hosmer team. Before hitting design school, Evan was a chef in Seattle. When not describing mouth-watering dishes in a staff meeting or discussing other culinary delights, he’s often seen riding one of his stable of five bicycles around town or playing with his 20-pound cat, Simon. We don't think his cat's weight has anything to do with Evan's kitchen expertise… but, then again, it might.

Mastery started building websites the same year Google opened its doors and Apple introduced the first iMac. Although that iMac is now vintage, she is not. Mastery is dedicated to developing websites that function as well as they look. Sometimes, it seems that there isn't anything she doesn’t know. Though she would argue that point, we rarely encounter a project challenge that stumps her. Mastery is a unique hybrid—a web coding visual creative—truly a front end developer that excels in both worlds.

A skilled programmer with a wickedly subtle sense of humor, Steven always has an answer to any website or IT challenge. He completed his bachelor's in computer science at EWU and then went on to earn his Master of Science in Multimedia & Film from EWU in 2004. Steven works closely with our digital team to take client websites to new levels of custom functionality and performance. There seems to be no end to Steve’s capabilities, whether he’s seated in front of a keyboard and multiple monitors or strapped behind the wheel of his BMW race car.
