VISUALSTIMULUS
Rob’s first real-world experience came by way of designing two ‘Loyalist College Education Week’ posters, one for each year attended.
A career built on ideas, concepts, pushing technology, working in and leading teams, embracing the social side of consumers, and being aware of the diverse methods used to entice, sway, and surprise a user with a positive reaction.
Spirit. Positivity. Trust. Equity. All make for a great space.
Working in multifaceted teams, designing & writing, leading staff, mentoring, building relationships, and providing expertise, has provided multiple global opportunities for Rob. He has been able to share his learned knowledge in numerous mentorship roles from his first job onward.
Rob has explored all facets of creative from idea to launch and celebration afterwards. Sharing moments with each of the team members and clients throughout his career continues to be very rewarding.
