Reflection with Accuracy and Intention
The Use of Self to Enhance the Brilliance of Others
Anyone who can shout can certainly hear themselves. But shouting is about noise, not an intentional, effective means of broadcasting clear information. At DV Studios, we are not so very interested in shouting for ourselves, but instead are called upon to use the gracious gifts to make others shine brilliantly. Our way of doing business is not revolutionary — indeed, it is quite rooted in tradition — but it allows us to bring the best from our clients.

The Spectacle of Multifarious Creativity
Venturing from the Surface to the Underpinnings
ForJason Sonderman, Vice-President of DV Studios, Inc.,, bringing ideas to light is more than composition and balance, but dervies from the intense need to learn how and why it works. A diverse professional background spanning more than 15 years that includes traditional print design, web and interface design, digital prepress, project management and web technologies development only fans the creative flames in Jason's mind, and it is not unusual for him to learn new methods and technologies for entertainment. The BFA earned from Kansas City Art Institute in 1995 laid a solid foundation in creative thinking and intense curiosity to explore beyond the surface configurations into the realm of the mechanics that control the surface.
Jason has held creative positions at small business and large advertising agencies alike, notably The Cobalt Group, Inc., RR Donnelley, and VML, and has worked with clients such as Intuit, Simon Malls, Microsoft Hardware, Prentice Hall, HP, and Hallmark.
