Mary M Plein

     Mary is also a native of the Brainerd Lakes area. A graduate of Brainerd High School, AA degree from Central Lakes College; Mary wed her long-time friend and schoolmate, John, in 1977. Mary & John then moved to St. Cloud continuing their education at St. Cloud State Univ. where they persued the arts and sciences.
     Soon an offer came to John for a good-paying/steady job but it meant a move to St. Paul... so off they went. Six quick years and two toddlers later, they returned to the Brainerd Lakes area wondering why they ever left in the first place! Then, settling in a beautiful, quiet country village known as Ideal Township, they built a home, raised their two sons and focused toward their dream of working as entrepeneaurs from home.
     In the early 80's they began making their dream a reality with their first graphic design home biz, 'Golden Oaks Graphics'. Aptly named as their home is surrounded by rolling hills of beautiful oak trees that turn a beautiful gold in the autumn. It was the beginning of what would be a lifetime endeavor.
     Years later, they put GOG on-hold and Mary began working with the production team of In-Fisherman magazine. She did layout and digital prep of the Walleye In-Sider magazine and she stayed on for four great years, polishing her precise production techniques.
In 19?? Mary left In-Fisherman and joined up with Nelson Graphic Design agency of Baxter. Initially working in production on the Berkley Fishing account, Mary was soon promoted to production management for the agency. After 5 terrific years with the team at Nelson Graphics, Mary decided it was time to "take the leap" and work with her best friend and husband John at their own newest venture... JM Plein Consulting.
     Today Mary still does what she does best... production. Working in the print field of JM Plein Consulting, Mary designs and produces magazines, catalogs, brochures, maps, advertisements, and kiosk signage just to name a few. Mary's years of experience working with the graphic design and printing industries brings along a wealth of knowledge and information to get the best results for each job.
