Member Spotlight of the Month


build/create studios
Ian Wilson and Eric Lynch, long-time friends and colleagues, honed their skills in the crucible of Ann Arbor's tech startup community. Combining their design, web development and business management experience, they formed build/create studios in the 4th quarter of 2010. The quality and character of their work has earned them an enthusiastic reception from clients and colleagues alike. The business has grown at a steady but manageable pace over the course of 2011 - culminating in the opening of their offices in Ann Arbor's Tech Brewery on the North side of town and a growing roster of team members.

build/create studios specializes in partnering with businesses to leverage their design and web strategy skills to turn their client's web presence into something that works for them, generating business instead of just being an overhead expense. Approaching design and development as an exercise in comprehensive web strategy means taking more time to learn about their clientele, asking questions and gaining insight, but the result is a uniquely integrated product that leaves clients eager to tell others about their experience.

The A2Y Chamber is excited to welcome two new Membership Sales Representatives and a new Senior Accountant to the staff.

Julie Kedroske began at the Chamber as a marketing and events intern this summer and was hired on for the sales position in November. She is from Chelsea, MI and earned her Bachelor’s degree in Human Development & Social Relations from Kalamazoo College in 2011.

Our newest sales representative Rosalind Vaughn is an Ypsilanti resident originally from Cassopolis, MI.  She studied business at Eastern Michigan University and worked at the Ann Arbor Credit Bureau for 14 years.  She also spent the last 9 years as a mortgage loan officer.  

Senior Accountant Cindie Dulaney is a graduate of Cleary University with a bachelor’s degree in Corporate Accounting and is currently studying for her MBA at the University of Michigan – Flint. She lives in Fenton with her husband Ryan and four-year-old son Alex.
