Meet the #SqueezeCrew

We are a fun lovin’ bunch of quirky, homespun folks who love to research, write, draw and tell stories about KCMO.

 

 

Karla Deel, editor-in-chief/owner,  lives in downtown Kansas City, Mo., where she raises a feisty little girl, Salem, who will likely grow up to rule the world. She holds a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing from the University of Missouri-Kansas City. Karla advocates eating good, clean food (and drinking the boldest Cabernet’s around). She researches, writes and edits for her company, Squeezebox, at squeezeboxcity.com.

 

 

Heather Scanlon, senior writer, is a graduate of the University of Kansas in history and public policy. She is a freelance writer and editor now residing in Merriam, Kans., a lucky 10-minute commute to the fabulous KC area. Between her various odd jobs and spending time with her hubs and darling one-year-old daughter, Nova, Heather nurses a severe addiction to strong coffee, genealogy, and the New York Times crossword puzzle.

 

 

 

Cassandra Williams, illustrator extraordinarious, lives, works, illustrates, and sometimes hits taut strings in the KCMO area. She is an avid fan of Trader Joe’s 10 year single malt scotch whiskey, and will not be caught dead in heels. She has high hopes to someday buy Joni Mitchell’s “Blue” on vinyl.

 

And sometimes, we sing, too.  Drew and Heather Scanlon performing “Kansas City” at the Squeezebox Launch Party:

 

 

And joining the crew here is the Squeezebox honorary editor-in-chief, the almighty Salem:
