Our Staff
Dan Woychick
Principal and Creative Director
dan@woychickdesign.com
Dan is an artist, gardener, golfer, father and husband. He is a past president of the American Institute of Graphic Arts (AIGA) Minnesota Chapter and takes his dog to work every day. He possesses a remarkable ability to recall phone numbers without use of a Rolodex. Dan earned a BFA in Art from the University of Idaho. His work has been recognized in local and national competitions and publications.
Claire Napier
Designer
claire@woychickdesign.com
Claire is a native of Illinois who moved north to buy a new winter coat. She will be retiring from design and forming a band as soon as she learns to play an instrument or carry a tune. Until then, she likes to measure things in picas and obsess over the scandalous exploits of Rod Blagojevich. Claire holds a BFA in Graphic Design from the University of Illinois.
Buster
Chief Morale Officer
Buster is a brown-and-white dog of indeterminate parentage. His responsibilities include grumbling at the mail carrier, dancing in the window when we return from meetings, and keeping the couch warm. Though normally mild-mannered, his separation anxiety-induced fits of pique will one day be cause for scientific study. Buster is the longest-tenured employee of the firm.
