Living her best Colorado life, Jennie is either sipping hot coffee in the mountains, working on a creative design in Canva, or traveling the world. With 26 years as an SLP under her belt, she’s still as adventurous and spontaneous as ever, a true risk-taker in business and in life. Nature lover with a heart for kids, always up for a new challenge. Chiefs fan (somehow) in business with a Denver Bronco.

Lauren Kline is a Type A mom of three who thrives on structure, early mornings, and a strong cup of coffee. Whether she's squeezing in a run before sunrise or tuning into sports talk radio while gardening, Lauren finds joy in life’s simple rhythms. She's the kind of parent who shows up prepared, lists in hand, and loves digging into a good book as much as she loves helping her kids grow.

Shelby Ford, M.S., CCC-SLP is a pediatric speech-language pathologist who’s professionally obsessed with speech sound disorders and unprofessionally obsessed with making things aesthetically pleasing (and yes, she genuinely enjoys chatting about R sounds over lunch). She’s all about keeping therapy functional, fun, and phonological, with a soft spot for cueing strategies, well-designed fonts, and the perfect snack. As the marketing content queen at Bjorem Speech, Shelby transforms SLP jargon into bite-sized, scroll-stopping resources for SLPs, parents, and educators alike. If it involves speech sounds and a Canva template, she’s probably already on it, most likely while asking, “But can we make it cute?”

Surviving hot Dallas summers one ice-cold Dr. Pepper at a time. Mom of two, narrative language specialist, and editor with an eagle eye sharper than your grandma’s knitting needles. Always dreaming of BYU Creamery mint brownies and turning stories into speech therapy gold. She spends her days juggling sticky fingers, sticky notes and a whole lot of google chrome tabs that routinely crash her computer.

Ruthie is the creative force behind the custom, inclusive illustrations that make every Bjorem Speech® deck and material come to life. She brings bold color and thoughtful representation to every design, helping kids see themselves in the resources they use.

When she’s not designing therapy tools, she’s painting vibrant murals around Kansas City and running her Etsy shop, KC I’m So In Love.
