Courtney Vytlas
Online Marketing Specialist
Courtney was born and raised here, in Omaha, Nebraska. After a few degree changes through college, she found her passion for marketing and knew she would be the perfect fit. Courtney has loved creating and crafting since a young age, so once she found designing could be a career, she knew it was her calling. Courtney shared, "My favorite part of digital marketing is getting to open up a blank project and watch it take formation from start to finish. The evolution of the design and the associated results always intrigues me." Outside of work, Courtney's life is consumed with her four-legged baby, Miss Pebbles, a blonde miniature dachshund. She also lets her creative flare shine outside of the office through DIY home improvements or homemade gift making.
Kendall Weisdorfer
Marketing Associate
Kendall was born and raised in a (very) small town located in Central Nebraska. After multiple changes in her major and three college transfers, she finally found something that sparked her creative side. From a young age, Kendall always had a passion to write and create so when she realized that she could make a career out of it, she jumped at the opportunity. Kendall is currently finishing up her degree in Advertising & Public Relations and Visual Communication/Culture and plans to continue growing with Pixel Fire after graduation. Outside of work and school you can find Kendall tackling DIY projects around the house, playing with her two dogs (Carl and Balto), and going out with friends.
