zac Johnston
Artist and Springfield native Zac Johnston’s work can be seen on the walls at Speakeasy Ramen or on event flyers for local musicians. After his years at Assurant, he launched his own custom streetwear line. He joined Lifebar to create something new and exciting while developing a robust downtown business center focused on earnest, genuine community.
Blake Stilwell is a former Red Lobster line cook and combat photographer who has basically walked the Earth like the guy from “Kung Fu” for 20 years. He can be found hanging with Ms. Pac-Man, wasting Bots in Helldivers 2, or beating you at Mario Kart. He is a journalist whose work has appeared on ABC, NBC, and elsewhere. He hopes it will one day appear on his mom’s refrigerator.
Joel Shear has been a Springfield resident since 1995, when the mall arcade, laser tag, and midnight bowling were the places to be. Today, he is an award-winning mixologist and a long-time creative force in the city, producing logos, wall art, and menus for local businesses. He is the recipient of four consecutive “Best Cocktail” awards for his creativity.
