Bio
Steve Close
From the day Gabe's resume and portfolio landed on my desk and up through the present day, I've always been knocked out by his incredible skills. Let's start with the foundation: awesome typography instincts, a fresh sense of color, an amazing eye for space and design. Now toss in an uncanny ability to meld the unexpected into amazing works of art, a design style that's intelligent and fresh and mastery of all media. Top it off with an enviable work ethic, an ever-present optimism and the ability to work solo or as part of a team and you've got an idea why Gabe is a great asset to have on any project.
David Runkles
I've worked with a lot of designers, but few with the grasp of the interactive world that Gabe has.
James Aaron Cooke
Gabe is one of the brightest creatives I worked with.

Off-hours stuff starting day one out of design school, and then while full-timing it at agencies - building up my network and awesome experience as a youngster, then off to the races after leaving an ACD role at a digital agency in SF - full time freelance from 2011-2014 with agencies, startups and my own growing client list, finally rolling it all into my small but excellent design agency based in Bend, Oregon - RANGE cfb.
