I'm an interactive art director and designer with a background in print. I make web sites, ads and logos and am in love with all forms of visual communication.

I grew up doing graffiti and tattoos and dropped out of art school in spectacular fashion. I went back to school for graphic design and advertising and have been working in the ad industry since graduating.

You can see some of my work at http://www.robdean.ca

At the end of the day I just love making things, and I'm always on the look out for new stuff to make.

I've worked for Rogers, Chrysler, Home Depot, Labatt, CIBC, PayPal, and more.

I've also done pro bono work for organizations like Ve'ahavta, Heart and Stroke Foundation, Pride Toronto, Downtown De-fence Project, Our Place Community of Hope, and National Advertising Benevolence Society.
