Steve Gasser, President
I am always looking for ways to inspire new ideas with others so that we can continue to help others achieve their business dreams. Even after 12 years in business, I continue to be as passionate about inspiring possibilities for those around me as the day Vivid Image first opened its doors. As President of Vivid Image, I can often be found strategizing with business colleagues, experimenting with new technologies, or assisting our team with initiatives that will have a profound impact on how we will provide value to our clients and community.

Beth Gasser, Owner and Vice President
Anyone who has worked with me knows I am all about producing results and getting things done very quickly. Yes, I am a list person and could not function without a detailed calendar. My role at Vivid Image has changed over time, and I currently enjoy helping others get things marked off their “to do” lists. While my title is Vice President, I can usually be found working on HR related policies and issues, fueling internal marketing ideas, inspiring ways to heighten office communication, and supporting our fearless leader. I love having fun with co-workers and inspiring new ways to take care of our clients.

Prachee Deshpande, Business Development Specialist
Nobody cares how much you know, until they know how much you care - Author Unknown.
I like the challenge of meeting new people and understanding what you do and why you do it? But more importantly, I care about new clients and your business as though it was my own. What can I do to help you make it better? I want to make sure that you believe in us and what we can do for your business. Only that will build long lasting relationships which are important to all of us at Vivid. Brainstorming, generating new ideas, and taking small steps towards a big picture is what I look forward to when meeting you. I firmly believe that change is the only constant and I will help you bring that change within your business. You can trust me to find the right solution for you, even if I have to pull in other people and resources - that's integrity, that's experience, that's me!

Kori Sanders, Account Executive
When we talk about strategies here at VI, we typically mean the planning that goes into developing a new website. I think of a different strategy – the one that keeps your experience with VI a rewarding one. The process from initial meeting to a website “going live” needs to be linked together in one fluid motion. You deserve a seamless progression of your project and that’s why I’m here. I’ll be with you taking the first big step with your website and to keep making those future little steps that assure your site is doing everything it can for your business. Now and into the future, I’m that point-of-contact to assure you get what you need, when you need it.

LuAnn Drazkowski, Director of Operations
I’m about producing results. My role is to provide an environment for the Vivid Image web development team that enables them to do their work with satisfaction and excellence. Our workplace infrastructure includes; talented professionals, tools, processes, and business systems. Complimenting the infrastructure is a nurtured spirit of teamwork, creativity, discovery, and continual improvement.



Sarah Popp, Internet Marketing Strategist
Developing an Online Presence From the Ground Up.
Creating an online presence can be a groundbreaking task. Often, unsure of where to start, and already wearing various hats, businesses are looking for a reliable web foreman. Working with businesses to establish a sound foundation, I help them establish and define their unique goals. Together we develop the framework for what sets them apart from the competition, and showcases what market they are going after. The end result is a step by step online strategy constructed from achievable phases and measurable goals. Remember… developing strategies is the key step for producing winning results!


Steven Palmer, Designer
Do you know the muffin man? Nope? Darn, well neither do I. Now that we have that covered, let me ask you some more important questions. What do you envision for your website? Are you happy with your current site? What colors do you like? As a designer, I take the answers to those questions and more to read your mind and ultimately combine your answers and ideas into a visual entity. I am the person who produces your visual presence on the web or, if needed, your physical presence too with a logo and business cards. :-)


Corey Trick, Designer
I work to create an identity for clients by transforming their thoughts into something that successfully represents the individual or business. Whether they are looking to create a new website, redesign an old one, make updates, or do anything else within the vast world of design, I am ultimately the person who is responsible for these tasks.

Deanna Schwint, Programmer
The possibilities are endless with online applications but without taking the time to define requirements and take small steps, the goals of an online application may not be achieved. I spend my time learning the in's and out's of how businesses work in order to move these processes online. This can range from a simple contact form to a complex ordering system. Either one produces results that make a difference for businesses and that is what makes my position rewarding. 

Nicholas Vacek, Programmer
I love Legos! Separate pieces can work together, yet no Lego block is dependent on any other specific part in order to function. Any given module can be removed, or replaced with a different piece, and the system still works. New blocks can be added easily, without forcing a redesign of existing pieces. Good programs work much the same way. A homegrown, cobbled-together website can be difficult to modify as business needs change. With such websites, it can be a challenge to produce any results. I help businesses leverage the most out of their website by designing effective modularity into the system from the start, and by building new modules when needed. Programmed correctly, a website grows with the business and produces amazing results!

Theresa Reyes, IT Systems Administrator
As they say, the proof is in the pudding.
Reliable web hosting and responsive support is very important for web sites. In my daily activities, I work with the Vivid Image project managers, the development team, and our hosting servers to ensure that our clients’ sites come up on time and stay up. I focus on taking a proactive approach that prevents problems and gets things done as quickly as possible. Producing results is what keeps our clients happy.
