As media buyer, James is the go-to man to get our clients’ advertising seen, heard, and read by the right audience. But into a nearby phone booth, and he becomes Pro Man– master of making things happen. James is a graduate of Mississippi State University with a Communication degree and spent years in the trenches of broadcasting, both writing and selling. He brings with him considerable ad agency experience as well, in Tupelo and in Jackson. In his spare time, he puts off mowing the yard, and is owned by two cats.

Since he was nine years old, Steven has been creating artwork when he created his first flyer for a Jackson State University football game at his father’s print shop. Since then, he has honed his skills and trained extensively in multi-media across the United States. Whether creating a logo, website, or ad, Steven’s creativity and attention to detail are second to none. Married with three children, Steven is a hard worker at home and here at Liquid Creative.

Working in payroll/organization for 16+ years, Jennifer is our Swiss Army Knife! Not only does she work on the organizational side, she makes sure everyone is exactly where they need to be when they need to be there, and we’d be lost without her! When she isn’t assisting and making sure our office isn’t falling apart at the seams, Jennifer enjoys attending concerts, reading any type of suspense or thriller novel, re-reading Harry Potter, and shooting photography!

A Mississippi native from Columbus, Lauren comes to us from the Mississippi Coding Academy, where she was a Full Stack Web Development Instructor. Prior to that, she was a Program Specialist for the Mississippi Emergency Management Association, where she worked in System Administration and helped in program training.

When she’s not at work, Lauren enjoys hiking and camping, mint chocolate chip ice cream, and quality time with her cats, Artemis and Apollo. She once interned at Walt Disney World but refuses to spill any Magic Kingdom secrets – so far.

Trent is a Full Stack Developer and an integral partner in our web-development and online creative team. A Mississippian from Long Beach, he’s a man of many talents besides software development. Prior to COVID, he was an experienced manager in retail and food services.

 COVID gave him the chance to explore his interest in software development, and return to school. In his free time, he enjoys cooking, reading, and playing the ukulele (now there’s a talent you don’t see too often).
