Margaux O'Malley, President
Margaux is one of the co-founders of Grand Junction Design. She is responsible for overseeing client projects and procuring new work.
She graduated from Carleton College in 1997 with a BA in Latin American Studies and Spanish. A year teaching and a year working in the (very much) for-profit sector made it clear that she needed to be doing something toward making the world a better place and championing such progressive causes as affordable housing, human rights and saving the environment. In 1999 she took a job with Neighborhood Funders Group and started down that path, and since then she's worked with a variety of groups to further these causes.
Her personal focus is on environmental sustainability. She enjoys spending as much time as possible outdoors. In her family and in GJD, she makes every effort to consider the environmental impact of each action and decision, and to teach her children to do the same.

He received a history degree from St. Mary's College of Maryland and an MA in literature from NYU. After serving in the public sector as a webmaster and web developer for the DC government for several years, he left to pursue more direct nonprofit efforts by working for individual progressive organizations with GJD.
