MACKENZIE MARIE - There’s No X In Espresso (v1)

Mackenzie Marie is a digital illustrator and graphic designer. She’s also a Flint, MI area bartender, music lover, and full-time cat lady. She lives in a small, cliché Michigan suburb with her partner, bonus son, and their cat, Kitty. You will likely never see her without a hat atop her head. She likes to use her personal art to convey a prominent message to her audience, usually involving social injustices and other issues. Challenging people to think deeper is her consistent goal. As an introverted extrovert, it is not often she goes out in public, unless it is for work, so make sure you say hello if you see her because it might be weeks before she emerges from her family’s dungeon once again.

Courtney Hayes - Dr. Congo, Canhausen

If Rootless Coffee Co. was a horror film, Courtney Hayes is our final girl. A killer artist, designer, videographer and overall Swiss Army Knife. Yeah, the mentions of knives and "killer" are intentional. Our (biased) favorite member of Flint Rat continues to amaze us with her awesome, and sometimes almost too weird, art she produces.
