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—a detailed creative who wants to design, wow, and tackle projects from a fresh perspective, and part manager who takes the helm, craves responsibility, researches, and always hopes to deliver more than expected. I may be found engrossed in massaging the custom fit of letters within a logo or drafting a new policy for a local board. I can't separate the forces pulling me in either direction, and my role with Whitline Ink strikes a solid balance between the two.
My early education was business and finance, and following education and endeavors have revolved around design, photography, branding, publishing, and local and regional government. I'm pursuing my master's degree part-time to keep my brain moving in the right direction. With a wife, five-year-old son, parents, in-laws, church family, friends, school, civic involvement, exercise regimen, and lots of hot coffee to fuel the pace, I'm blessed with very little time for boredom.
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?
