Meet Our Team

God used InterVarsity to transform Courtney’s life in amazing ways during college, and we’re so grateful he did. Not just for her, but also, selfishly, for us: not only do Courtney’s stylish designs help communicate and expand God’s kingdom, but our team gets to enjoy the delectable baked goods that often magically appear from her kitchen. Who knows if the Great British Bake-Off people will ever recognize her considerable talents, but we sure do.

Joanna never imagined that her knack for making funny iMovie videos as a kid would eventually develop into a love for film and working with InterVarsity’s video team. Growing up as a missionary kid in Turkey gave her an affinity for international community, linguistics, and a network of friends all over the world. Joanna has traveled across Europe and the Middle East, putting her polyglottal instincts to good use, and was a videographer at a Christian camp in Kentucky before coming here to InterVarsity. Now she gets to combine her love for stories, making videos, and intercultural experiences on the 2100 team to bring Christ and communities closer together.

As a former college rower, Cory was always thinking about the finish line. As Project Manager, she’s the same way, stewarding our work from beginning to end, so our creative team can produce materials that share Jesus on campus. Without her organization and production skills, which are as numerous as her flair collection, we’d be lost. But thanks to her Carmen SanDiego-esque childhood (9 schools before turning 18), she’d still probably know where to find us.

Giselle’s journey into ministry work was somewhat accidental. She landed a creative internship with her church just to get something on her resume, but developed a passion for creating design, social media, and written work to share stories of God moving on and off campus. After moving across the country with her husband so he could attend medical school, she quickly found her way back to campus ministry, this time with InterVarsity. Attending seven different schools from K through 12 left left Giselle with a taste for discovering new places –– if you visit somewhere new, don’t get her a postcard. Get her a hat! She collects hats from places she’s traveled and places she wants to go.

Emily might be the toughest member of the 2100 team. After all, she traded the sunny warmth of Florida for our bitter Wisconsin winters, so you know she’s got steel in her spine. But she’s got talent to match the toughness, crafting stories and resources that help students and faculty have the same transformative InterVarsity experience she did at the University of South Florida. Emily is obsessed with movies and film, loves tennis, and collects postcards from national parks—so if you ever get a note from Yellowstone that reads like a masterpiece, you’ll know who it’s from.

Once dubbed Glorious Brother Dan while in Nairobi, Kenya, Dan served on InterVarsity Link staff in 1995, providing technical and video support with Eric Miller, the founder of 2100 Productions. Since then his work for 2100 has been so glorious, he now supervises the Production and Design teams. Dan is involved in all aspects of video production and he sets up the tech support for InterVarsity’s larger conferences. 

Phoebe loves Jesus and telling stories, and telling stories about Jesus. She dubbed a table the "making things table" at the age of three, and she hasn't stopped making things since. Now, you'll find her designing webpages that combine strategy and beauty. The only thing she loves more than telling stories is living them, whether it be by rock climbing, visiting yet another new country (26 and counting!), or terrorizing the streets of Madison on her motorcycle. If you know Phoebe well, you'll know she gives good hugs and frequently calls people "buddy". She considers it a joy to work on a such a vibrant InterVarsity team.

After meeting God through the Asian American InterVarsity chapter at UW- Madison, Nat is continuing her journey with InterVarsity and with Jesus doing digital product design with 2100. Like the Wisconsin winters she grew up with, Nat loves to chill. Her favorite pastimes consist of discovering new music, playing video games, and dreaming up new outfits. Outside of the office, you’re guaranteed to find Nat wearing baggy, vintage style streetwear with earbuds in listening to Spotify’s Daylist, Discover Weekly, or a personally curated obscure playlist that she made in 2021.

Christy aims to live the good life. For her, this means delving into literature, theology, philosophy, design, home restoration, and deep friendships. It also means serving InterVarsity as Director of Public Relations and Editorial where she leads the messaging and public relations for InterVarsity, and has a chance to demonstrate her love for InterVarsity’s mission, values, and people. 

Imagine a Venn diagram with tiny circles: cats, Scripture, missions, thoughtful discussions, professional development, handbells, knitting, reading, board games, sunshine, communal living, and Diet Dr. Pepper. Smack dab in the middle of that, you'll find Ashley, probably making a diagram for you.  She's a nerd for all things design, strategy, and innovation, and loves using those disciplines to help people find life in Christ.

Matt’s keen visual sense and eye for the perfect image started as an experiment with photography in college. He tried not to get carried away with his hobby, but (we’re happy to say) it carried him away instead—to 2100, where he serves as our Photography Director. An extrovert with an introvert’s pastimes, Matt’s happy place is a secluded forest and a crackling campfire without a soul in sight.

A passionate writer having grown up adjacent to InterVarsity, it was probably inevitable that Logan would end up with 2100 at some point. Now a part of the Editorial Team, he’s finally getting to grow with InterVarsity instead. Whether learning about obscure topics or collecting some of the weirdest hats you’ve ever seen, there’s nothing Logan loves more than the strange and unusual. When not in the office, Logan can often be found playing one of many video games, messing around in Photoshop, or mindlessly feeding his endless Manga fix.

To be fair, Alice doesn’t love Jell-O nearly as much as her home state of Utah—which eats more of it than anywhere else in America. But she does love using visual art to invite students into God’s family, which she discovered after hearing the call to pursue graphic design while on an InterVarsity Global Program in Mexico. Whether it’s through portrait sessions, making handmade cards, or photographing a special event, Alice’s design instincts are rooted in helping people feel seen in community. She radiates warmth, hospitality, and fun in everything she does—a little like, well, Jell-O.

If you’re down to have a long chat about the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Korean cooking, or underground hip-hop, Paul’s desk is your first stop. While you’re there, he can tell you how he met Jesus in his InterVarsity chapter and describe the joy he gets from helping students hear the gospel through his innovative design work. His rap hobby is probably his best-kept secret, but those design talents? They don’t stay hidden for long.

What happens when you dream of being a cartoonist as a kid and then get called to ministry before going to college? If Joe’s any indication, you end up looking for the best visual ways to tell the big gospel story and helping others learn to live it out in their day to day lives. In the past, that's meant using graphic design and illustration tools to minister as a pastor. Now, it means using his ministry experience to inform his work as part of the 2100 Design Team! Whatever shape Joe’s work takes, it’s about finding creative ways to help people know they’re loved by God; and if that’s best done with a cartoon, it’s all the better! 

One half of our native Texan team (with husband Steven), Ashlye’s MO is energy and delight. She loves college students (she came to faith in our chapter at UT-Austin), and whether it’s leading worship, supervising our Editorial Team, or advocating for Latino/a staff, Ashlye’s vibrant spirit is never far from the surface. If it involves Disney movies, thrifting, or hanging out with people, you know Ashlye’s in her sweet spot.

Emily is living proof that God can use media to change lives. At Urbana 15, the 2100 videos she saw cut through her suspicion of media and inspired her to become a visual storyteller with a heart to tell stories of God’s kingdom on campus. A self-described “2100 groupie,” Emily’s infectious joy and adorable pup Lucy are both delightful parts of our team. And her compelling, imaginative video projects? We like those too.

It feels weird to write your own bio, right? But as a writer for 2100, it’s projects like this that land right in Drew’s wheelhouse. A climbing enthusiast, Studio Ghibli superfan, and part-time seminary student, when he’s not wordsmithing for 2100 Drew’s most at home on the baseball diamond or indulging his bottomless appetite for rom-coms.

Hannah’s childhood in Manilla, Philippines didn’t prepare her for Wisconsin’s harsh winters. But her propensity for stopping in the middle of the road to watch grazing cows makes her a Wisconsinite nonetheless! At the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, Hannah wore many hats: Bible study leader, art exhibit curator, and worship coordinator. Pretty impressive, we know. Whether she’s writing beautiful poems that touch your soul, or destroying you in a game of Ultimate Frisbee — our newest team member is as dynamic as they come!

Toast with chocolate sprinkles? Steven says it’s a magnificent flavor combo. If his taste in breakfast food is anything like his video prowess (or his taste in fine coffee), we’d have to agree. One half of a husband/wife 2100 team (Ashlye leads our Editorial Team), Steven’s love for worship, Scripture, and multiethnicity inform every project he produces. His unique blend of skill and depth help him lead the team in GMPP (‘goosebump’ moments per project).
