clara wachter - 2025
I am a senior studying accounting at the College of Saint Benedict & Saint John’s University. I am looking forward to graduating in the spring!
Caroline Wicks — 2024
I’m currently a senior at the College of Saint Benedict & Saint John’s University and am double majoring in Global Business Leadership and Strategic Communication Studies.
This past summer I studied abroad in Munich, Germany and was an Operations Intern for Blue Line Logistics in Vadnais Heights, MN. Post graduation this upcoming spring, I will transition into a full-time role at Blue Line.
A highlight from my time working at Bruno Press was overall being able to connect and contribute to the St. Joe community in different ways!
Breanna Lubke — Summer 2021, Winter 2023
I started Brea Rhodes Art LLC in 2023 right after graduating from Saint Cloud State with a BFA in studio art. We recently moved into a house and I now have a home studio. I teach printmaking classes across central MN. I also do art markets selling my stickers, lighters, prints, and clothes. I’m currently working with Neverest Studio in Saint Paul and have items in their shop. I also have my work available for purchase in various stores in central MN.
Lucian Eisenschenk - 2020
I interned in 2020, graduated from SCSU with a Bachelor’s in Graphic Design in 2021, then got a job working at a printing company. I worked there for 2 years, then quit to go back to school but this time at Heartland Ministry College in Cold Spring, MN. I’m currently enrolled in my 3rd and final year at Heartland. I’m in the process of starting a faith based clothing brand; I’ve been around the world on missions trips and have grown so much personally and spiritually. Quitting my job to develop my faith has been the best decision I have ever made. It’s been a wild ride.
will Imholte - 2011
After college I moved to SF (San Francisco) and worked at a ton of (now failed) startups before going to Coursera, then Facebook, now Apple. I manage a team of Human Interface Designers and also a team of project managers. Typography skills are definitely helpful in my day-to-day work!
Nikki Thompson - 2010-2012
I'm a self-employed website copywriter. I remember setting lots of type and heading to the house to visit with Maryanne while waiting for Mary to get to the shop (haha)! So many fun afternoons of listening to music and getting inspired by your and your dad's artwork! Oh, and always being greeted by your sweet doggy.
madeline cochran - 2014
I met Mary Bruno at the 2014 Millstream Arts Festival in St. Joe as a sophomore at St. Ben’s and became an intern at Bruno Press shortly after. I helped print, set type, and filled out orders on and off until I graduated in 2017. After completing an MFA in Dundee, Scotland I moved to Minneapolis and continued to commute to St. Joe to help Mary in her shop and assist in the printing, planning and assembly of the letterpress-printed Rule of Saint Benedict Scroll for Richard Bresnahan’s Prophetic Messenger Project.
I am a practicing artist living and working in Minneapolis who began her creative path learning about letterpress printmaking through Mary at Bruno Press!
