Holly has worked to develop content to enrich the National Common Core Standards for elementary through high school classrooms. Born in Lacrosse, Wisconsin, she attended the University of Wisconsin-Madison for her bachelor's degree, double majoring in English and History. Her first classroom experience was substitute teaching while in graduate school at DePaul University for her Master's in Education. Holly did her practicum in U.S. History.

Working with an amazing design team to bring agricultural education to life has been one of the most enriching experiences for her. The late Paul E. Nunn is a full-range artist and approved character artist for Disney, Lucas Arts ad Nick Jr. He started his own freelance company to focus on children's animation in 2000 and hasn't looked back. Born and raised in Kenosha, WI, and drawing since he could hold a pencil, Paul got his big break right out of high school. With knowledge on new animation software, he became a pixel retouch artist for a small animation studio. As the company grew and landed big jobs with Disney, Mattel and Leapfrog, Paul worked his way up to Animation Director. Leaving in 2000 to start his own freelance business allowed Paul to focus on children's animation. His projects include working with legacy characters from Disney's Cinderella, Winnie the Pooh andThe Jungle Book, line drawing for LucasArt's Indiana Jones, Star Wars and Star Wars Angry Birds and illustrating a handful of titles for Nick Jr's hit showBubble Guppies.
