Jeremy Knight
Co-Founder, Product Design and Flash Development
Background: Ad Agency
Jeremy is, at his core, a designer and developer and has always enjoyed both aspects equally. He started college as a Computer Science major, switching after a year to Graphic Design and to this day can’t make up his mind which he’d rather do. Upon graduation, he decided to try designing and building something called an "internet web page." To his surprise he had a knack for it. After several years building his Flash portfolio in Boston, he moved to San Francisco to work for the award-winning ad agency Venables Bell & Partners creating online creative for brands like Orville Redenbacher, Pacific Gas & Electric and HBO. He is widely recognized as the most handsome member of Canned Banners.

Chris Mears
Co-Founder, Web Development
Background: Front-end and Back-end Web Development
Though he received his degree in Information and Telecommunication Systems, Chris quickly realized his true passion was in web technologies. He most recently held a position at Cisco Systems as a front-end developer on the Eos Enterprise Media Platform. Chris is also the author of “TextMate How-To,” a guide to the text and code editor TextMate. When he’s not thinking about and dreaming Javascript, Chris enjoys going to live concerts, practicing his guitar, homebrewing, and tea snobbery.
