More about Conall
Conall has the uneasy feeling that he is living vicariously through himself.
He is a left-handed resident of Chicago, though he constantly departs from there on trips around the world to satisfy his passion for exploring. Conall has visited 35 countries across 4 continents and has a personal goal of visiting at least 100 countries in his lifetime.
A soccer fan, he once played at around 10,000 feet above sea-level, along the Inca Trail on the way up to Machi Picchu, Peru. Conall loves contemplating and playing with well designed products and is passionate about his black 1975 convertible Corvette. His retirement plan includes owning and operating a shop that sells only bacon, in pursuit of making the tastiest bacon possible.
More about Liam
A communications designer with print and web experience developed over two continents, Liam likes to think he is cooler than he really is. Liam runs a small, multinational, communications design consultancy called lbdesign, where he is gaining a reputation for randomly breaking out in song during telephone conferences with clients.
When not working on client projects, or making cynical jokes about the state of the political systems in the US and the UK, Liam enjoys supporting Arsenal, drinking quality ales and stouts and spending family time with his wife and two children. And lastly, Liam also writes about print design, web design and pubs and beer at liamdempsey.com. He occasionally writes at thegovernancepartnership.com, where he is an associate of The Governance Partnership.
Liam recently relocated from Oxford (England) to Philadelphia, where he is actively building lbdesign’s US client-base.
See? It’s amazing she’ll have time to write for this blog at all.
More about Jim

Whether dancing salsa in Miami, speaking Swahili in Tanzania, or throwing snowballs in Michigan, Jim thrives on keeping people on their toes. The variety of couches, cots, floors and inflatable mattresses on which he has slept over the past 5 years has made him a self-proclaimed international couch surfing expert.
Although Jim has been described as being everywhere at all times, finding him is no easy task. Not to worry, he does randomly appear with an extravagant display of fro-like blonde hair, a bushy blonde beard, and / or brightly colored shirts.
Jim blurts random product ideas to friends and is growing an affinity for proper customer service. He is also an avid observer of the human animal behaving in its natural and artificial environments.
