History
Established in 1987.
It was Tom Weinkle’s clarity of vision and natural design skills that, teamed with partner Michaala Speijers’ business and marketing acumen, lay the foundation of Vortex more than two decades ago. Back then, the firm was known as Thomas Weinkle & Associates. As it evolved into a full-service design business with major local, regional, and national clients, including many of the area’s advertising agencies, it just made sense to change the name to Vortex Communications.
