Our Team
Pam Runde
Receptionist
Pam joined our team in January of 2020 and is the smiling face you see when you walk through our front door. All we can say about Pam is "THANK THE LORD" she's on our team! In addition to her dozens of other tasks, she's also our resident "DU Mom", and takes great care of all of us! Because we can be hot messes most of the time, we really make her work hard for her paycheck. Pam loves spending time with her family and grandkids, turkey hunting, and escaping to Southern Illinois (from us, most likely) with friends on the weekends.
Lynn Koester
Business Manager
Lynn joined the DU team as our Business Manager in October of 2020. Lynn loves spending time with her family and friends. She also enjoys reading, cooking, and baking. She is our resident in-house "goodie provider" and loves watching our britches get tighter and tighter. One thing she doesn't cook with is cilantro because, apparently, it tastes like dish soap. Who knew...
Janelle Garcia
Inside Sales Executive
Janelle is a mother of four and wife of one.
She has been the numero uno Inside Sales Rep since joining Designs Unlimited in 2007. Janelle acts as the in-house expert on domestic monetary policy and she really loves the show 'Doomsday Preppers'.
She has been known to fall for firefighters in '84 Chevrolet S-10 pickups.

Kaitlin Cornett
Inside Sales Executive
Kaitlin rounded out our Corporate Sales division in May of 2022. She comes to us with several years of industry experience under her belt, and we couldn’t be happier! Kaitlin spends her days listening to Harry Styles. Scott wants to introduce her to Country from the 50’s to see how she feels about that…
When not at work Kaitlin enjoys spending time with her husband and daughter, Lantz and Brynn. She also enjoys traveling and is on a mission to visit all fifty states and as many national parks as possible!
Maria Ruholl
Inside Sales Executive
Maria joined our sales team in November of 2020 as Janelle's right-hand wo-man. Maria resides in Bishop and enjoys spending time with friends and family. Never, and we mean NEVER, respond to her texts with "K." She may or may not retaliate. She's a singer and a whistler, and her weaknesses are anything "Bachelor Nation" related, online shopping, and eating cereal. We're not sure if she ever does all of these at one time, but if so it would be quite the show. I guess we'll find out.

Denise Voelker
Sales Support Specialist
Denise joined the corporate division of our sales team in 2020. Denise is originally from Teutopolis and resides in Shumway with her husband, (why is the carpet all wet) Todd. In her free time, Denise enjoys "crafty stuff" (whatever that means), gardening, and hunting. She's had a busy year, canning something like 4,327 jars of produce. We'll warn you that she is an odd duck, as anyone who doesn't like bacon is a little "off" in our opinion.

Brett Deters
Inside Sales Executive
Brett/Bart/Bert (he answers to many names…the result of an inside joke that stuck!) joined our athletic division in June of 2022. Brett lets off steam (needed when working with a sales team of women) by running and watching sports. He can definitely hold his own in our sales meetings, but we see him rub his temples and forehead a lot when we veer off into female subjects….poor Bart.
Unfortunately, another Cubs fan has joined our fold. (We’re working on it…)
Sidney Brumleve
Inside Sales and Marketing Executive
Sidney graduated in December 2020 from SIUE with a degree in Marketing, and joined our DU team in May of 2020. Because Scott and Tina are such exciting people, and because she couldn't get enough of them at home, she decided to follow them around at work too! Quirky facts about Sidney:
1.) She almost always wears sunglasses, though they are never on her face.
2.) She loves to travel, but this isn't easy because her car keys are always lost.
3.) She can play nine different instruments.
Cindy Funneman
Sales Support Specialist
Lover of all things Teutopolis, Hoosier, and STL Cardinals, Cindy was welcomed with open arms by the majority of our staff in July of 2021. We say majority because unfortunately, we do have some avid Cubs fans in the building (group meetings here can become a little awkward during play-off season.)
Cindy is an over-achiever, as she originally began her career with us in Embroidery, but now has also decided to master BOTH sales support and shipping support functions. Who are we to stop her?
Jennifer Storck
Sales Support Specialist
Jennifer is our go to person in the Shipping / Receiving Department. So, if it's coming or going, believe me, she knows as nothing gets past her…which is awesome!
She spent the last 20+ years in the printing business, so she decided to try something different. Ummm, we print too!
A loving wife to Josh, mom to three kids, and pet mom to one. Really, really, really loves jeeping. Really! Enjoys spending time with family and friends. Have I mentioned they love jeeping (and camping)?
Michele Apke
Accounts Payable/Purchasing
Michele has been welcomed with open arms to our Accounting department, and she will provide much-needed relief.
She’s a town girl that moved to Lillyville to "get away from it all”.
Sewing/quilting/crafting/wineries are her ways to chill out….outside of softball season. During softball season, she can be seen running up & down the interstate following Bradley softball. Much like most sports parents, she now has over a half million miles on her new vehicle.
Not a fan of heights or singing karaoke while not drinking….she is a fan of Garth Brooks, Joanna Gaines & HGTV.
Marisa Schabbing
Embroidery Specialist
Marisa added some much needed relief to our embroidery department in March of 2022. With her arrival, we brought our Cubs fan count in the building even higher, which is truly a sad thing to point out…BUT, all is well because we added another Wooden Shoe fan to the mix, and that’s always a plus in our books!
Her sweet personality and big smile make each day better at DU – which we are so thankful for!
Krisy Ruholl
Embroidery Specialist
Krisy jumped into our crazy fold in October of 2021 (just in time for peak busy season!) Krisy lives in a world of twos: Favorite foods are Mexican and Italian, Favorite sports teams are Cubs and Steelers, and favorite shows are Gilmore Girls and The Witcher. When Krisy isn’t at work you can usually find her chasing her kids and husband, or riding her pristine condition ’02 four-wheeler she bought back in the day. Yes…it still runs great and no she will not sell it.

Embroidery Specialist
Bio Coming Soon!
Deano Tull
Production & Screen Printing Tech
Lonnie Tull, Jr. - or Deano - is an experienced screen-printer who joined our staff the summer of 2015. He is too old to skateboard, but is still too young to be aware of this. He recently learned what pepper jack cheese was, but also confused the Rolling Stones with Journey and thought Mariano Rivera was the lead singer of Metallica, which should be a sackable offense.
Alan Poe
Production & Screen Printing Tech
"Poe" recently transitioned from our Shipping & Receiving Department to Production.
He is also pursuing a music career. It's a bluegrass band, we think, but we're uncertain.
Adra Baker
Shipping & Receiving
Bio Coming Soon!
Loretta Schumacher
Shipping & Receiving
Loretta joined our shipping and receiving department in March of 2020. Named after the ever-famous Coal Miner's Daughter, Loretta Lynn, it's only fitting that she listens to the song at least once a day. Loretta resides in Teutopolis with her husband and kids. She loves spending time with family, reading, and camping. To stay on her good side it works to play old country music, bring her food from Olive Garden, and never ever ever have or chew gum when around her. Oh...and "uncaging" a bottle of wine in her presence is a sure shoe-in too!
Tina Brumleve
Owner
Tina and Scott started Designs Unlimited from their home in 2005. Today, Sales & Accounting divisions are her priorities.
While at home: easy listening playlist (predates iTunes), a good book, Illini basketball, Cardinal baseball, and flower planter / tender extraordinaire.
When not home: Wooden Shoe sports and hanging out with her good (not great) looking and charming co-worker (not to mention that I’m her husband and the author of this bio).
One chink in her armor…she has a really hard time keeping track of her iPhone.

Scott Brumleve
Owner
Scott started printing and embroidering in the basement of their home, while working days at a local printer. He was also the Art Department. He now heads up the Production Division. Dodger, Ram & Hoosier fan – feel free to hold this against him.
