About Knapsack
A web & brand design company that's with you for the journey.
Our Team
We do what we love, and we want to help others do the same.
Wesley Tate
Website Designer
Wes pulls from his background in graphic design and video production to create beautiful websites that tell stories. When he's not plugged into the matrix he can be found backpacking the Blue Ridge mountains, boating across the Potomac, or running his screen printing and t-shirt company.
Joy Guelzo
Client Experience
Joy focuses on customer service and clear communication, things she learned from her English degree and over 7 years in the retail world. When she’s not furiously taking notes or playing Tetris with the office calendar, she’s helping her husband create films and obsessing over all things Disney World.
Benjamin Manley
Founder
After gaining valuable experience at several creative agencies and leading a university design team, Benjamin founded Knapsack as a ploy to do his best creative work and gain personal freedom. In his spare time he goes kayaking, dabbles in minimalism, and plots to build his own log cabin.
