Briden Cole Schueren (He/they)
is an international queer trans activist artist and business owner, who shares his life’s challenges and journey through his art. His works range in size and scale- from 1inch canvases to 40ft murals. He loves making art that pushes boundaries and makes people think outside of the societal norms.
He opened up BrickBox Studios, a local artist community space, in Columbus OH 8 years ago. He is a member of the You Will Rise Project, organization using art against bullying. Briden is the founder of the Trans Pride Committee, which was born from his time on the board of Stonewall Columbus, where he created Columbus’s first annual Trans Pride March.

Shelby Schook (She/her)
Designer. Artist. Mama. My name is Shelby Schook, a Senior Graphic Designer and currently working as a Creative Director at Shark Effect Marketing in Louisville, KY. For the last 5+ years, I've been designing, creating, and giving direction at this company for many brands. Yet I still love to add a little freelance on the side to get back to my roots. I've studied and worked in Kentucky, Iowa, and Australia. Seeing art all over the world continued my love for design and every aspect of it. I love making my client's vision come to light and seeing their reaction when it comes to fruition. It is payment in itself. I love design. I eat, breathe and live art and every aspect of it. It is all around us and I am proud to be a part of it.

Brittany Franks (She/her)
Although Brittany only officially launched her graphic design and creative consulting business in 2021, she has been doing this work for years! She got her graphic design start at a local print shop in 2009. Life has a way of continuing to happen and through the years lots of things changed, but she maintained a love of graphic design. Now as a wife and mother of three she’s enjoying being able to create and work in her own way. Although she enjoys taking on many different types of projects her favorite things to do are to help businesses with their branding and marketing strategies as well as illustrating children’s books. Working with Madeline is always a treat, and to say that she’s proud to lend her talents to The Vampire Shot Glass may be an understatement.

Creator
Madeline Gregg (she/her)
is a certified sex educator and intimacy coach and owner of Vampire Shot Glass. She specializes in queer sex ed, and saw a need for gender inclusivity in period care products (aka— no more pink period product packaging and female-centric period education). Plus, she never liked pink much anyway! Madeline runs the.attitude.tok on TikTok, where she uses her platform to fill in the gaps in sex ed (“things American sex ed didn’t teach you”, as she likes to call it).
