Alphagraphics Seattle
Timme Brewer, Manager
Starting her printing career 30 years ago as a receptionist for a small Seattle printing company, Timme’s expansive printing experience of job engineering, corporate estimating, purchasing and production scheduling and many years of shop management gives her the knowledge to guide customers through the process. “I love happy customers. They make all the hard work fun.” Outside of the office, Timme enjoys cooking, gardening, dreams of a Paris vacation and her newest passion…walking. Timme participated in her first 3Day Walk for Breast Cancer in 2008 and hopes to make it an annual event…or as long as her legs hold out. And yes, she did all 60 miles!

Matt Hasemeier, Production Wizard
After studying photography and photo journalism at Ohio University, Matt has spent the last 6 years in the visual communications field; 2 in photography and the last 4 in printing. He’s a master with the equipment and no machine gets the better of him. Away from work, Matt loves photography, hiking, sky diving and bike riding, and he’s training for the STP (Seattle to Portland bike ride) in 2009. He’s our resident thrill seeker.
Ski Thomas, Customer Service Royale
Ski’s love for printing and all things paper started in high school in the 9th grade. By the time she graduated, she was hooked. Ski went on to Southeast Technical College in New Orleans, graduating in 2002 with an Associate in Graphic Design degree.
Ski and her family moved from New Orleans to Washington in 2005, just weeks before the hurricane. She may have left New Orleans but she didn’t lose her love of spicy food.
When she’s not at work wearing that great smile, Ski loves cooking, dancing, going to church and hanging out with her husband and three absolutely adorable daughters. Her dream? To one day own her own Alphagraphics.
