David Harrell is an elementary school teacher and a teacher of Deaf and Hard of Hearing children of all ages from birth to 21. He has worked in the field of education and hearing loss since 1993, both as a certified ASL interpreter and as a licensed DHH teacher.

Matthew Schufman studied art and design at the University of Minnesota and currently teaches art at Northpoint Elementary in Blaine, MN. As a small child, he was enamored with book illustrations and the feeling of being taken into another world through a picture or artwork. Finding inspiration from vintage cartoons and illustrators Gary Taxali, Jesse LeDoux, and Dallas Clayton - Schufman bridges classic illustration style into modern existence. Since graduation, Matthew has worked as a freelance graphic designer and illustrator, and met David through their shared work as educators.
