The people behind VOICES.
Carla Godwin
Interviewer • Founder
I'm driven by curiosity about the human experience, about people and our stories. In my current role as Executive Director of the PERIS Foundation, an organization committed to providing supportive housing for young adults who have experienced foster care, I’m honored to partner with the residents at PERIS Hill on the unfolding of their stories.
Anthony Taylor
Events Lead
I am an engineer that learned that sales and marketing were the drivers. I have been fortunate to work in up and coming organizations that have given me opportunities to work across discipline and become a well rounded team member. I have found a niche in natural and organic personal care products and wellness/lifestyle training and education. I have never lost the project management disciplines of my engineering background or the practical and real-time focus my sales and marketing management experiences. The greatest joys in my professional career have been developing and learning from great leaders. Leadership is the greatest privilege and reward in business. The future for me is in the green economy - sustainable development and sustainable business practices that grow people and communities and protect the planet.

Gary Lo
Creative Strategy • Design
Creative director and doer, avid fly angler, and dad to two- and four-legged goofballs. I’m driven to tell stories about the human experience, applying rigorous design thinking, thoughtful visual story-telling and full-throttle scruples to solve problems and build community.
Kris Growcott
Creative Strategy • Copywriting
I am an idea's guy. Pure and simple. If you're looking for a more traditional title you could call me a marketer. A creative. A thinker. A writer. An entrepreneur. But they all come back to ideas. And coming up with those ... well that's what I'm good at.
I've spent the last 15 years working out how to use ideas to move people - how to get them to care and act. I've worked at agencies big and small, for fortune five-hundreds and start-ups. No matter the challenge, budget, or medium - I believe its commitment to ideas that ultimately determines success.
Andy Graydon
Audio Engineer
Andy Graydon is an artist and filmmaker originally from Maui, Hawai’i. His work is concerned with natural and social ecologies, and with sound and listening as creative practices. Recent projects have focused on island ecologies and the imaginal and narrative forms employed by the natural sciences. His projects frequently engage structures of music such as the ensemble, the score, improvisation and variation, and techniques of the voice. Often ephemeral in nature, Graydon’s work combines minimal physical materials with elements that are absent, fictional, or imaginary.
His work has been presented internationally including shows at the New Museum; Mass MoCA; Berlinische Galerie, Berlin; Frye Art Museum, Seattle; and the Honolulu Biennial. Screenings include the Fulcrum Festival, Los Angeles; the Flaherty Series at Anthology Film Archives; WRO Media Arts Biennial, Poland; Arsenal Institut für Film und Videokunst, Berlin; Millennium Film Archive; Black Maria Film & Video Festival; Worldfest Houston and the Chicago Underground Film Festival.
