Whitline Ink Founders
I'm Scott Whitaker and technically the Creative Director/Project Manager for Whitline Ink. Some folks want to know a bit about who they're dealing with concerning their business and creative endeavors, so...
I'm a split personality—an editor, designer, and photographer with Whitline Ink and concurrently a busy public servant and lover of public administration. I may be found engrossed in massaging the custom fit of letters within a logo, photographing a scene for a book cover, or pondering a better way to deliver town services.
My early education was business and finance, and following education and endeavors revolved around design, photography, branding, publishing, and local and regional government. I'm pursuing a master's degree to keep my brain moving in the right direction. A wife and young son, parents and in-laws, church, town duties, classes, exercise, and an under-used dual-sport motorcycle combine to occupy most of my waking hours, although not always in that order.
My name is Emily-Sarah Lineback. Here's the short version: I'm a word wizard, a nationally award-winning writer and author, and a hardcore proponent of hope, good manners, and authenticity in all aspects of life. (I'm also addicted to coffee and learning, and I'm currently {finally!} going back for my master's degree at Wake Forest University.)
Still reading? Well, I continue to be a stockholder and silent partner (sometimes not so silent!), and I'm thankful to be associated with such an exceptional group of people, both internally and the quality clients that Whitline attracts. At my core, I adore words, and you'll find me reading, writing, sharing, editing, or otherwise rolling around with them a good chunk of my waking hours as editor of Winston-Salem Monthly magazine.
Relationships rank high on my celebration meter, and I thank God daily for His commitment to me, hubby, son, Mommy, Daddy, parents-in-law, extended family, church family, friends, and biz clients (whom I'm grateful to say usually wind up in the friends category, too). And I have a sweet stray cat (named T.K., who has been around since July 2009) and a quirky lab mix, Maggie, who doesn't get walked enough but loves me anyway. How could I ask for more?
