Project Manager

James Johnston enjoys the oft-underrated moment of crossing items off his to-do list and is always appreciative of a job well done. He excels at keeping track of details, keeping people happy, and keeping the rest of his compatriots in line, all of which happen to be great skills if you're a project manager or the leader of a band. Incidentally, James is both. He has worked his way into a position of responsibility everywhere he has been, from a nineteen year old talent relations and production assistant at MTV in New York, to manager of a popular Chicago recording studio at 26, and now project manager at Mightybytes. He also has significant audio and music production knowledge, which comes in handy in his role as lead singer for the band Bumpus.

Art Director

Joy Burke has come a long way since her days assembling burgers at the Steak n’ Shake in Effingham, Illinois. She has traded burgers for beziers and now spends most of her time making the world a more beautiful place one pixel at a time. Joy is a 2007 graduate of the Visual Communications program at the Illinois Institute of Art where she won Best in Show for Innovative Design on her portfolio.

When not creating award-winning design work, Joy likes to play soccer, kickball, banjo and piano, attend music shows and fests, and work the runway as a house model for Vidal Sassoon.
