Kristin Coyne
DESIGNER + VIDEO EDITOR Kristin comes to Go Button Productions as a forever-recovering workaholic with an insatiable desire to play with technology and adapt it to creative pursuits. She holds a B.A. in Studio Art and Theatre and an M.F.A. in Scenic and Projections Design. Kristin met with the rest of the team at San Diego Comic Con in 2014 and they haven't been able to get rid of her since. She’s most in her element when she’s wearing her paint-spattered clothes and drinking a cup of earl gray while her mind processes the next design choice.

Aaron McGee
ASSISTANT PROJECT MANAGER Aaron McGee has always loved to be hands-on and learn new skills. From an early age he enjoyed tinkering, taking things apart to see how it all worked, and fixing what was broken. He graduated from CSU, Fresno in 2013 with a BFA in Acting, but whenever he wasn't in class or rehearsal, he was in the Theatre Department's scene shop building sets, props, and rigging elements. Since then, Aaron has worked for several theaters and production companies all over California as a freelance carpenter, gaining many unique experiences and skills. Whenever he's not at work, Aaron loves to cook, travel, and enjoy nature.
