Our Team

Matt Munson

CEO / Co-Founder

Matt is the captain of the ship at Instacanv.as and is involved in just about every aspect of the Instacanv.as site. He's even responsible for our team mascot, Kiley, a cute lil Boston Terrier. When using IG, he's a big fan of the soft glow of the Earlybird filter.

Todd Emaus

VP Product / Co-Founder

Todd heads up product at Instacanv.as. If there's a feature missing that you want, this is the guy that you need to hassle. Todd likes pictures of long walks on the beach and his favorite Instagram filter is Kelvin.

Kevin Fremon

Creative Director / Co-Founder

Kevin is the reason that the Instacanv.as site looks so awesome. He's a bit of an Instagram addict and takes (by far) the best pictures of anyone on the Instacanv.as team. When he's snapping pics, he's a regular Camera+ and Filterstorm user.

Michael Robinette

VP of Engineering

Michael leads the dev team in making sure the Instacanvas machine is a well-oiled one. He matches strong tech engineering with your beautiful mobile photography in the most effective ways possible. Michael is a shredder of ice - both on the slopes as a snowboarder, and in the kitchen making homemade ice cream!

James Welsh

Senior Developer

James plays a major part in our engineering team. He's always on the grind to produce a quick and awesome website for our artists to love. He keeps the beat of the drums - both in and out of the office. When not building awesome stuff he is trying to grow a royal mustache. He is a big art fan and gets lost between the code and your awesome photos.

Ben Kessler

Director of Operations

Ben makes sure you get your canvas, framed print, or prism. And fast. He knows the mailman on first-name basis and can tell you the country code for any country we ship to by the drop of a hat. (Ben 2.0's hat, perhaps?) He refuses to upload anything but awesome photos to Instagram, and is also the part time DJ for the office.

Meaghan Emery

Community Manager

Meaghan rocks our social media. You'll find her friendly face popping up on our Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest pages. Meaghan is usually too busy Facebook-ing to remember to drink water! She likes to post colorful California-themed collages to Instagram. She and Kiley get along great due to their Boston roots.

Michelle Foster

Customer Supporter

Ever wonder who is on the other end of your Help Desk ticket? Michelle is. She makes sure you find what you need on our site, and that you fall in love with our team and our product. She uses her photography background to offer tips on how to be a successful Instacanvas artist. She shares responsibility for office DJ, and loves to experiment with any (and all) photo-editing apps, filters, and styles.

Emma Steimann

Developer

Emma is responsible for making sure features on our site run right. She is a key part of our developing team. Something not working right? She's probably already fixing it. She's a roller derby and sci fi novel enthusiast. She might not admit it, but she is a new-found lover of sunny weather. That is why her IG feed is so bright!

John Kempe

Recruiter

John helps our Instacanvas team grow. He is always on the lookout for new technological talent and expertise to bring Instacanvas into the future. This Oklahoma native is a wearer of cool shades and an avid reader, but hopefully not simultaneously! John continues to explore the City of Angels and invites you to follow his iPhone-documented travels.
