principal & creative director
ck@helveticka.com
Forty-some years ago, CK embarked on a career in graphic design only when it became increasingly evident that the NBA wasn’t going to call. It all worked out, though: instead of a has-been point guard with bad knees, CK has become one of the region’s foremost branding experts, leading a small and cohesive team of some of the most talented and creative thinkers in the northwest.
project manager
linda@helveticka.com
After four decades in the business of graphic design, marketing, media and public relations planning, brand management, and strategic development, Linda’s somehow been able to maintain an easygoing disposition. It’s a rare ability that, no doubt, results from the rigorous training to prepare her for her term as a princess in the Spokane Lilac Festival Royal Court.
associate & senior designer
shirlee@helveticka.com
When Shirlee’s in charge – which, let’s be honest, is most of the time – things just seem to get done. And done right. In addition to a formidable (not to mention wide-ranging) set of design skills, she has an uncanny ability to think through, and solve, every conceivable production problem before it ever arises. We’re just thankful she’s using her super powers for good.
senior copywriter
erin@helveticka.com
Part journalist, part technical writer, part artist, Erin is a communications utility knife. Whether editing entire campaigns for clarity or crafting a single line of strategic copy, she brings a sharp sense of language, form, and impact refined over more than 20 years of award-winning work. Storytelling is who she is – getting at the core of things and making them hit beautifully hard. Her other major skills are parallel parking and guacamole.
Celebrating 25 years of the impossible force that is Shirlee Roberts-Downey, with some metal music and extra-thick chocolate mints.
