Krista Smith
Managing Partner
After graduating with a degree in Web Page Design I quickly found that my desire was to pursue a career in Graphic Design. Building brands from the ground up quickly became my passion. A colleague of mine got into a rough time and had to do some time in prison. While incarcerated he came up with the idea of Penacon. Finding companions, friendships, and mentors for these inmates became a drive for me. Meanwhile I was introduced and started doing graphic work with Freebird Publishers. Before I knew it I was working beside them full time devoting all of my knowledge and skills into services for the incarcerated community. When they decided to buy into Penacon I was thrilled. The partnership was one of the best things that could ever happen for Penacon as the knowledge in inmate marketing that was brought into Penacon has been one that has helped to build Penacon into the success it has become today.
