About us

At Compassed we believe in partnerships that help you achieve your goals. We’d like to think it’s more about you and not us. But you wouldn’t hire a mechanic on the side of the street without doing a little research, would you? Luckily, we’ve compiled a background check on us, for you, here.

Jim Pond
founder/strategist
Jim is the driving force behind the strategies necessary to help you grow. His direct approach cuts through clutter and gets straight to what will help your business grow. Conveniently, he can also be the filter between you and those damn kids in the creative department — in case they’re too abstract to understand (or tolerate).

Matt Maguy
founder/creative director
Matt is the creative conductor who “makes pretty pictures.” He’ll be the quiet guy in the corner of your first meeting that looks like he isn’t listening. He often derails on tangents about good design, and pushes the envelope only because he genuinely wants you to stand out. Because if you look good, then he looks good. [ed. note: Matt is a little vain -- cue the Carly Simon.]

Tiffany Maples
art director
Tiffany is the accent-less Texan (yes, they do exist). This gal is always on board for over-the-top ideas and pushing boundaries, but understands the fundamentals of what makes a design powerful. Her knowledge of aesthetics, typography and internet memes is baffling. She talks to herself out loud, a lot. And answers herself.
