“There was never a time when I wasn’t doing something creative,” recalled Dora Drimalas. “From a young age, as far back as I can remember, I was always drawing and painting and doing things.”

Not much has changed for Dora, Co-Founder and Executive Creative Director at Hybrid Design. The studio, which she runs with her husband Brian Flynn, does a little bit of everything—packaging for Nike jerseys, event branding with companies like Pinterest, print publications like Mohawk Maker Quarterly, a sister company called Super 7, and much, much more.

Born in Athens, Greece and raised in Sugar Land, Texas (yes, it’s a real place), Dora credited her parents for sparking her curiosity and interest in all things creative.

Theresa entered the world of design through The Dieline. With a background in writing and journalism, she has a passion for discovery and cultivating human connections. Her work for The Dieline is a constant journey to deeply understand all facets of the design process and to investigate what makes designers tick. Theresa’s writing has taken her snorkeling in between the tectonic plates in Iceland, horseback riding through a rural Brazilian town, and riding an octopus art car at Burning Man with Susan Sarandon as part of a funeral procession for Timothy Leary (long story). When not writing, she is planning her next trip or taking too many pictures of her cat.
