Daniel Ellis, Co-owner An artist since childhood, Dan spent his young adulthood as a freelance fine artist creating hand lettered signs and airbrush artwork. After graduating from The American Academy Of Art in Chicago in Electronic Design and Illustration, Dan spent over a decade in advertising, digital imaging, and graphic design. It was long and winding roads that lead him to starting YTG Designs after settling in Portage, MI with his wife, Kerri, and daughters 6 years ago. You can count on Dan to know the inner workings of web design and development and if you have a problem, he can help. |

Kerri Ellis, Co-owner
Bringing eighteen years of experience in sales and marketing in the specialty printing industry, Kerri is also passionate about making thoughts and ideas come to life. She feels success is measured by building gratifying, trusting relationships with clients. The dollar amount of the project is not as important to her as the people and companies behind it. She wants clients walking away from an executed project excited about working with YTG Designs. Kerri has plenty of company at home with her husband Dan, their two beautiful daughters, and two lively dogs. |
