Ross created an idea for Nokia that was clear, simple and to the point that would enable the communication of the Nokia offering in email, chat and social media. This single idea resulted in 6 months work creating print ads, outdoor, online, retail and brochures.

Ross worked with G2 as a conceptial Art Director on Adobe email projects, Cunard direct mail brochures and web elements for Electronic Arts. He has always strived to push the boundries of what is posible and was able to present ideas that were fresh and innovative while being aware of branding guidelines.

“Ross is living proof that creative talent and likability aren't mutually exclusive. Having worked with him at two agencies on various accounts, I have found he is one of those rare people who can stay cool when things are going 100mph...toward a cliff...in a hurricane. Ross has also managed to keep his sense of excitement over great ideas. His passion for great creative work is rivaled only by his passion for things made from titanium and carbon fiber.
