John “Turbo” Manning

John is a certified design-freak and perfectionist for things that can be made stunning.

From engines, parts,  lines, and sound to architecture, colors, and spaces that can make you feel as if you are lucky to be there.

So where does this love for good design come from? The capital equipment side of the printing industry of course.

Holly Manning

Holly is the owner of HM-2, a strategic marketing firm for large scale real estate developers. Market research; the finance side of the business that John doesn’t want to deal with; and another point of view on design  are her world for BG Creative.
