Autorenporträt
Joe and Michele Boeckholt are both practicing graphic designers living and working in the Kansas City metro area. Originally from Iowa, they met at Iowa State University in a foundations drawing class, and relocated to Kansas City after graduating from the College of Art and Design. Joe and Michele share an appreciation for local history, popular culture, and the visual arts. The pair can be found exploring the city's antique shops, flea markets, and other collectible outlets. Joe and Michele first started researching and collecting items related to the Harzfeld's specialty store over ten years ago. They acquired ephemera that originated from the estate of their 1940s display director, Erasmus (Raz) Beall. They were fascinated by the history and impressed by the style of the fashions, ads, and displays.
