Rock The Gas Mask

“Draw any pretty pic­tu­res today?” Jim asks as he stands at the edge of the room poking his head through the door way. “I drew a few, pick one.” After loo­king a them for a few minu­tes, he com­ments that they con­vey a wide range of emo­tion, and asks me how I feel. “Func­tio­nal” I say. “Gas masks are functional.”

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.
