Hi, I’m Rob an Art Director with over 10 years of experience as a creative professional. I bring my passion for storytelling, relevant design and thoughtful brand communication to help solve my clients' business challenges and develop their brand or position in their market. I’m originally from San Diego, CA and I received my bachelor’s degree in art with an emphasis in graphic design from San Diego State University in 2008. I spent the early days of my design career as a Graphic Designer at Copper Blue Creative & Jacob Tyler Brand & Digital in San Diego. In 2014 I moved to Denver, CO to be closer to the mountains and the outdoor lifestyle. Along with my passion for the outdoors I also have a big passion for motorsports.

I approach creative and design from a strategic position. I see creative and design as problem solving, which means the final visual result is a correct answer to a problem and not a series of arbitrary artistic decisions. This is the position I lead from and challenge others to do the same.

I have an extensive background in print design, tradeshow design and I’m always learning more in the digital space. As an Art Director at the RE/MAX World Headquarters I work within the brand marketing team along with our copywriters, internal communications and social media teams to ensure we are all telling the same brand focused stories across multiple channels and platforms whether it’s print or digital.

During my time at RE/MAX I have been the lead designer for recruiting and retention of RE/MAX agents. I was also the lead designer on the RE/MAX Commercial and The RE/MAX Collection brands. I’ve worked on creative for RE/MAX Global and I work on co-branded creative for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, a 30-year partner of RE/MAX. During design reviews I enjoy giving and absorbing constructive feedback to optimize the end creative product that either I or my team produces.
