Let me say, the past five days have been a magi­cal blur, full of magic and joy, and joy­ness. My little magic bundle of joy came into our lives in a blur of magi­cal blurry … joy? Ok, I’ll drop it, the point is that I am a new father and am totally pum­ped about it. Jayna, my wife, com­mis­sio­ned wall art for the the little ones room. I was exci­ted out the pos­si­bi­li­ties and deci­ded on a deco­ra­tive ini­tial. Excite!

Taking some ins­pi­ra­tio­nal queues from Jes­sica Hische’s Daily Drop Cap, I gave my little Par­ker a P! During the crea­tion of this P I star­ted sin­ging the lyric “Par­kers P!” to the tune of an old science fic­tion cres­cendo, which led to her first nick­name: P!
Currently, the P rests above Par­kers crib. The ama­zing part is that she already knows how to read it!

    The P looks great, I love it! I need more pic­tu­res of this little lady, more pic­tu­res I say! Hope that all is going well for you with the new baby in your house.

  • Oh trust me, with the amount of pho­tos we take of her, there are bound to be more found on these pages. It’s her fault really, she just wont stop being cute!

From an early age Travis could be found with a sketch pad trying to capture the beauty and structure in the world around him. This desire to engage and create stayed with him. In his Adolescence he was able to find solid footing for his childhood passion by creating posters, flyers, web sites, t-shirts and album covers for his and other local bands. It was during this time that Travis decided on the direction of his life’s work.

As a Creative Director, Travis has been recognized by the American Federation of Advertisers, the International Association of Business Communicators and the Association of American Marketing. His designs have been featured in national magazines, branding textbooks and influential design websites. In his role at BRAINtrust Marketing he is responsible for all design and creative direction for the client portfolios. From websites and advertisements to annual reports and brochures, Travis brings his creativity and fine eye for design to produce world-class commercial art.

He is married to the love of his life, and in his spare time he tells jokes that are only moderately funny.
