Meet the Mark-It
Running a shop this awesome is no small feat. We couldn't do it without each of these exceptional team members.
Jeff Guinn
Owner / Manager / Designer
The shop's fearless leader, Jeff, hails locally from Cross Keys, Virginia. He is a graduate of Spotswood High School and holds a BFA in graphic design from James Madison University. Jeff has over a decade of apparel design experience and in his spare time, enjoys creating art, watching live music, and climbing mountains. He and his wife Emily have three children: Afton, David, and Eliza.
Susie Diehl
Owner / Embroiderer
Susie has been a co-owner and mainstay of the Mark-It since October of 2010. You have her to thank for just about anything you've had embroidered here at the shop! She grew up in Waynesboro, VA and moved to Harrisonburg 26 years ago. Susie and her husband Marty own a turkey/beef cattle farm and have three kids: Logan & Seth who also own a turkey farm, and Kelsi, a Junior in High School.
EIROT ROPOT
Screen Printer / Ink Master
The moon is her hometown. The screen printing floor is her domain. She enjoys short jokes, dogs, cats, wood dust, printmaking, & plants. This is who we can thank for all of the beautiful green plant life around the shop that cleans the air and keeps the place feeling lively! Eirotropot is also a prolific and talented artist who regularly graces the city of Harrisonburg with beautiful murals and art exhbitions.
Praveen Chhetri
Laser Technician / Screen Printer
Praveen is the mastermind behind the laser machine, and he is one of our incredible screen printers as well. Praveen's home town is Kathmandu, Nepal. He plays guitar in a heavy metal band called Earthling (a local favorite) that tours all over the states once or twice a year. He also enjoys cooking Nepali cuisine at home and watching European club soccer--he hasn't missed a Manchester United game since 1999! Praveen can speak, read, & write in three languages: English, Nepali, & Hindi.
Catherine Britt
Operations Manager
Catherine helps to run operations around the shop, starting with customer service and continuing through to the ordering, scheduling, and artwork prep stages. Catherine’s hometown is Weyers Cave, Virginia, but she made the big jump to city life in Harrisonburg after attending James Madison University. She’s a Valley girl through and through. Her hobbies include consuming content (books, TV, movies, the Internet) and finding ways to use the all of the crafting supplies she owns.
