MEET THE TEAM
ALANA SNYDER
Co-Founder + Director of Operations
Email:Â asnyder@605magazine.com
Alana started 605 in 2009 with her husband (and co-worker) John. What started as a monthly publication created in their townhome has grown into a strong brand with a talented team officed in downtown Sioux Falls (not to mention incredible freelancers statewide). The pair also runs 605 Creative Co., 605 Weddings, and the 605 Cabin in the Black Hills.
JOHN SNYDER
Co-Founder + Marketing & Event Manager
Email:Â jsnyder@605magazine.com
John has always been passionate about sales and marketing, but he has also delved (deeply) into the photography and cinematography world. No two days are the same as he specializes in working closely with client campaigns and is also busy shooting, editing, and creating projects with 605 and 605’s sister company, 605 Creative Co. You can also find him heading both 605 Classic events. And probably drinking whiskey.
CAILYN PATTERSON
Lead Multimedia Designer & Photographer
Email: cpatterson@605magazine.com
Cailyn has always been drawn to all things design; both physical and digital. After graduating from South Dakota State University with a degree in Interior Design and a slew of minors, she decided to narrow her focus on the fast-paced world of graphic design and photography. Back in the 605 office, you can find her listening to horror podcasts while editing photos, creating the magazines layout designs, or running around town with a camera. Outside of work, you can find her combing through thrift shops, renovating her home, and being a vessel for Asian cuisine.
