Meet the Team
Kendra Wright
Founder
While she's not "founding" companies, Kendra loves to travel, discover marginal pastries and bet her business partners to do something foolish for $5.
Aaron Pederson
President
A hopeless idealist, Aaron already knows the next project will be a raging success. He can memorize ridiculous amounts of numbers and bake a mean soft pretzel!
Jeremy Emerson
Partner, Creative Director
If he's not bending your ear with a super fun story, he's probably dreaming up something beautiful to add to the world. Maybe a logo, a rack of ribs or the perfect G & T!
Cassie Dispenza
Senior Director of Marketing & Partnerships
You probably just saw Cassie at her 73rd conference of the year, where's she get the time?! Besides being Saffire's brand MVP she performs cookie magic with the UT game on.
Brandi Jo Reilly
Director of Client Experience
The youngest ever inductee to her high school’s Sports Hall of Fame, Brandi has bumped, set and spiked hundreds of websites and ticketed events to success! A fierce advocate and coach to clients, her high-fives can leave a mark.
Chris Lugar
Technical Director
If it's ours and you've used it, Chris the O.G. most likely made it work. Powered by mountains of Coke Zero, of course. He spends spare time teaching his son Avery to wave a Terrible Towel, while booming old school Boyz II Men.
Jessica Bybee-Dziedzic
Director of Partnerships
Jessica is the ultimate teammate, having worn nearly every hat there is at Saffire! She loves dance and taking her bosses to racy and inappropriate concerts on 6th street.
Jodi Buresh
Director of Partnerships
Go Bison! Jodi's a North Dakotan and a former high school hockey cheerleader who's all our first choice to bring the fun to any event. She's in charge of hiring the beer garden workers. She'll probably even marry one of them.
Amy Pelzl
Director of Ticketing Partnerships
When she's not taking the ticketing world by storm, Amy is perfecting the next character accent for a play. Or shopping for earrings. But she might just be happiest sliding behind the wheel, just to see where the next road takes her.
Ashley Leopold
Client Experience Manager
In addition to her ninja coaching skills at Saffire, Ashley is a black belt in Taekwondo, and she knows everybody. Everywhere. She loves a good local craft brew and singing along with 80's hair bands!
Phil Thompson
Client Experience Manager
Not only is Phil a team member, he's a former client! He has a dreamy coaching phone voice (Phil's a former voice actor) and he'd rather be exploring exotic Topeka, KS or in his backyard doing some more gardening.
Joy Whitman
Client Experience Manager
Joy’s a native Texan living in Kansas, ready to ride her Harley anywhere to frame the perfect postcard shot with her camera. She can wrangle a state fair’s ticketing and marketing no problem, and take you down on the roller derby track!
Austin Castaneda
Ticket Experience Manager
Austin’s left turn in native Albuquerque landed him in Portland where he fearlessly builds seat maps, tames ticketing wild fires and charms crowds with his euphonium.
Jessica Carlo
Marketing Manager
Don't be fooled! Jessica grew up in New Mexico, but fits right in with the Austin crowd. She is fond of puppies and big snakes, but not at the same time. Unless they are all together on a yacht in the Caribbean. Then, that's cool.
Daniel Bunn
Senior Software Engineer
How many software engineers do you know who used to live on a house boat, and would rather be out taking amazing HDR photography. We thought so. Dan can build robots, websites and ginormous sand castles with his kids.
Jeff Seymour
Front End Developer
What? A developer who loves video games? Jeff takes it a step further with a passion for digital art, fine Japanese cuisine and a mastery of the IKEA floorplan. He just wishes they stocked more hot sauce!
Katie Bobzien
Junior Designer
Passionate about the Pacific Northwest, Katie balances a love of Portland and Seattle by running half marathons in Vancouver, B.C. When she's not designing, she's designing! Custom stationery, that is, aided by her puppy and kitty at her side.
Katrina Hirsch
Front End Developer
Always dreaming of her next trip to Iceland, Katrina cultivates code and fills her workplace with plants. She’s collects antique cameras, tattoos and tarot cards. Step inside…
Thema Reed
Marketing Manager
An Austin transplant by way of New Mexico, Thema (it’s TAY-mah) is relieved to find Texans have good tacos. You’ll find her writing all over Saffire’s marketing efforts and she aspires to be the next Alexa or Siri!
