Alright, we cleaned up for picture day so you should probably have a look.

Matt Penner

Comm (Hons) from the Asper School of Business, he amassed over 15 years in the professional marketing field supporting both large multinationals and smaller nonprofits. Following this he felt the calling to start Three-Six North Marketing, the advisory division of Print Studio One, to assist clients with comprehensive marketing services.

Since earning his commercial pilot’s license, Matt has had the opportunity to introduce over 150 people to the gift of flight through various events. He and his wife Lindsey enjoy spending weekends outdoors exploring and adventuring together.

Kyla Meilleur

Estimating & Client Services

Kyla’s nickname is ‘Care Bear’, and if we have to pick one trait to describe her, it’d be: ‘Positive Energy’. With her infectious smile, Kyla is a blur around the office often gathering and recording all the details required to estimate and start on new projects.

She loves spending quality time with her family (husband and two boys) where the possibilities of fun are endless and include everything from bike rides to making water slides to gardening, doing crafts, and even some competitive video gaming together.

Kyla loves baking (primarily to share some baked treats with others), and tackling various DIY projects to make their home welcoming for friends and family to visit – yes she has been caught talking to her indoor plants encouraging them to stay healthy.

Colin Enns

Creative Director

Creative director by day, hockey player by night, brand virtuoso always – Colin’s meticulous work and passion for good design and communications helps organizations realize their full brand potential. Although his post-secondary studies began in digital multimedia design, Colin’s academics extended into Civil Engineering and project management (weird hey?), leading to a career in industrial construction that took him through the wild, untamed corners of Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. Freelance creative work was always on the go during this time and he was eventually re-introduced into civilization, finally coming to his senses and joining the PSO/36N team.

Sara Hiebert

Production Coordinator

As an avid Jets fan, Sara proudly wears her jersey on game days. We like to think of her as the coach of our team – she keeps everyone on task and on schedule to ensure a win. She likes grammar, is detail-oriented and doesn’t allow little mistakes; she has an army of tools at her fingertips to keep the proofreading at the top of the league. Sara tackles all jobs with the same intensity as a seasoned playoff veteran, leaving a trail of sticky notes with detailed instructions in her wake.

Sara has nearly 20 years of experience in the printing industry. Having started when it was known as Martens Printing, she’s embraced the dramatic changes along the way; seeing the darkroom where film was once developed give way to new technology and production techniques.

Brendan Giesbrecht

Estimating & Client Services

Brendan is one of the calm voices and welcoming faces you’ll see if you give us a call or stop by the office. His branding intuition is an asset as he guides clients through the initial steps of a project.

In the evenings you can probably find Brendan in his home studio playing guitar, constantly tweaking his pedalboard in search of new lead tones, and working through setlists for upcoming worship nights at church. Little known fact; while only in his twenties, he’s nearly reached guitar collector status.

When not riffing on one of his Fender Stratocasters or picking on his Martin HD-28, Brendan also enjoys riding his motorcycle and dirt bike whenever he finds time.

Timothy Penner

Partner // Operations

Tim is the one behind the scenes enabling the rest of us to effectively do our work. He has a knack for thinking through workflow and processes and finding slick tools and apps to allow us to collaborate and use our workstations efficiently. His unique skillset includes the physical woodworking and carpentry involved in building many of our workstations, while also commissioning the IT network infrastructure behind it all.

After graduating Jamestown College with a Business degree while on a baseball scholarship, Tim and his wife Shana felt called to Uganda, Africa where they spend 7+ years working with Amazima Ministries and ultimately building and opening The Amazima School. He served as their Business Manager, and the Director of Information and Media.

When Tim’s not at work, he is kept busy by his 3 year old daughter Charlee, renovating their house, and spending time with friends and family. A fun fact about Tim is that while he’s afraid of heights, he has visited the tallest building in the world, the Burj Khalifa in Dubai.

Kevin Funk

Designer

With his chair permanently set on a low-rider slouch position, multitasking takes on a whole new level with Kevin. When he gets in from seeing his kids off at school, he quickly has both digital presses humming while simultaneously working on the next design job and sharing some photo editing pointers.

With over 20 years of experience at PSO, Kevin is the strong, silent type. He takes amazing photographs for our clients and what he doesn’t say in words, he communicates through the photos he takes and the designs he creates.

When asked what he likes to do for fun, he replied, “I’ll get back to you on that.” We’re still waiting, but have a pretty good guess that camping with his family, hiking, watching hockey or playing board games would make the list.

Sonia Verma

Web Developer

Sonia Verma was born and raised in Ludhiana, India. She moved to Canada in 2018 to study at the University of Winnipeg and to pursue a career in Web Development. Not only is she a talented Web Developer she is an AMAZING Cook! We’ve sure enjoyed her paneer masala!

At Print Studio One, Sonia works together with our web team to develop, launch, and support web projects. She performs updates, maintenance, and edits to existing websites. No matter the request, Sonia brings an upbeat attitude and is always ready for a new challenge!

Sam Toews

Sign & Vehicle Decal Specialist

Sam is responsible for wide format printing and installation, including signage and vehicle decals as a 3M trained installer.

There isn’t a speck of dust or roll of material that’s out of place when Sam is on the job — in fact, his organized area resembles a surgical operating suite, complete with labeled drawers for his knives and tweezers.

His precision approach ensures a high-quality product while his athletic ability and 6’4″ height come in handy when he’s installing billboards. It’s up for debate if he’s ever used a ladder.

As a newlywed, Sam has Shayna to enjoy his favorite pastimes with dirt biking and surfing and playing competitive volleyball.

Lois Penner

Client Services & Administration

Lois wears many hats at the office, such as wife, mother, client services leader and co-owner. She’s never caught without her morning coffee and toast with peanut butter as she systematically invoices her way through completed work. She can be found greeting most customers on a first-name basis, cheerleading staff events, and handing out the coveted office supplies.

Another one of Lois’ important tasks in the week is picking up snacks for Friday Coffee Break. If you see her chasing down the courier drivers, it’s to offer them a cookie or muffin for the road.

Yet with all that Lois has to do in a day, she will drop everything when her granddaughter Charlee is ready to FaceTime from Uganda.

Christian Fry

Digital Marketing Specialist

Tena Klassen

Print Finishing Specialist

Practically every print job that ships out our doors have passed through Tena’s hands. She is often a blur of activity – either driving our ‘green bullseye’ delivery van around town, or working with extreme efficiency to the beat of her favorite hip-hop hit.

With an easy-going and friendly personality, Tena is always ready to go the extra mile.

At times Tena reminds us of Wonder Woman as she is able to keep a balance between work and her home where together with Rod, they raise their three teenage daughters.

Dave Penner

Business Advisor

Dave is a true entrepreneur having run a number of different businesses before acquiring Print Studio One some 15 years ago with his wife and business partner Lois.

Dave is our team captain, leading us forward and often anticipating our next step as an organization.

When he’s not looking at purchasing a new piece of equipment or implementing technology solutions, he can often be found using his woodworking skills from his cabinet making days to build us custom workstations.

The summers allow Dave to ride his ‘boda boda’ motorbike to work and enjoy ‘yard-work Thursday’ – maintaining their yard where he and Lois find much comfort and relaxation together.

Rod Klassen

Pressroom Lead

Rod has redefined the meaning of being resourceful. Every day he puts his creativity to work whether running one of our printing presses or keeping all our equipment running smoothly. If you ever doubt his innovative spirit, look no further than all the custom hoists and pully systems he’s designed – we even have a retractable green screen thanks to Rod!

It’s clear he loves coming up with new solutions, and with three daughters at home, we’re sure he gets to practice creative problem solving on a regular basis. His latest project involves retrofitting a retired U-Haul into a customized camper for his family (yes, it’s even complete with draw bridge access).

Lance Unrau

Web Developer

Lance is a gifted web developer with an eye for design.  A grad of Vancouver Animation School, his passion for art, illustration & animations allow him to build sites that will set your business apart from your competition!  He builds sites that are not only stylish but where the code is organised & documented extremely well.

Due to his broad interests, he’s a bit of a Jack-of-all-trades.  Sir Lancelot, our legendary knight, can be found riding his motorcycle, constructing his own wood furniture, playing videogames, or travelling abroad.

Chaddy Velasco

Web Designer

Jill Reimer

Designer

Specializing in print layout for the design team at PSO, Jill has enjoyed aesthetic-based jobs since graduating with a degree in Communications & Media. From fashion merchandising and styling to marketing and graphic design, she’s deeply satisfied by appealing visuals and the messages they convey.
Jill thrives in a stationery store, knows an unnecessary amount about the British royal family, believes that volleyball is The Beautiful Game, and though big on the adventure of European backpacking (while lugging along her impractically large camera), she’s currently on the enterprise of parenting two fantastic little people, along with her favourite tall person.
