My career started out back in 2000 when I had just graduated college with a Computer Science and Communications degree. A Chicago girl looking for her big girl career and a way to pay rent in my very small, yet expensive apartment that I shared with a high school friend in the Windy city. I was searching for a career when I stumbled upon Nimlok. A Project Manager position was open, and it was creating exhibits through CAD. I thought it would be fun and a nice stepping stone in my career and learning new software programs is always a plus. Well, 20 years later I’m STILL in the tradeshow world! After 10 years as a PM I went into Inside Sales when Nimlok and Orbus merged together. Then my family and I moved down to Florida about 11 years ago in which led to my career as an Outside Business Development Rep for the State of Florida. This year I was promoted to The National Key Account Manager for all of Promotional Printing. What a wild ride it has been! Each year gets better, shows and events get more creative, products get cooler and imaginations run free and without limits. There is nothing like bringing a client’s vision to life! My favorite moto about Orbus, we have no limits, only challenges that we gladly except and thrive for!

Here’s why I believe Pop! stands out and why it’s worth exploring from an end-user perspective:
- Our products are custom-made from the ground up for your company! We design products that reflect your brand's DNA. We source and dye materials specifically in your company’s colors to create a unique product tailored just for you.
- We’re redefining 'custom' in the branded merchandise industry. Each product in our line undergoes 6-9 months of development, rigorous safety and compliance testing, and is produced in 3-6 weeks with low minimums of 50-250 pieces.
- Sustainability is a core focus for Pop!, including offsetting carbon emissions, eliminating single-use plastics, participating in community service, supporting local organizations, and continually introducing eco-friendly products into our line.
- Our product line is constantly expanding! We launch multiple new products each month, with 40 new releases coming in 2024, all centered around top retail trends.
