Ian Barker
Rusty's, work product is excellent. It is thoughtful, creative and high quality. More importantly he is an excellent colleague and collaborator. He was a pleasure to work with and I would love to work with him in other ventures in the future. While I am not an expert in the space that he works in I have been a multiple and happy recipient of that work. My recommendation is without qualification. Ian. 612-616-6936

Creative and Brand Manager

May 2016 - Jun 2023
I've helped to rebrand this organization and bring Creative direction to our team. My specialties in this role were (but not limited to) building out campaigns, producing photo/video, video editing, building out our Annual Convention show look and wayfinding, and many other tasks, with both traditional design,as well as digital. I’m very adept at presentation building and presenting to groups and partners. I am very passionate about working cross-functionally, being innovative, and showing the world bold ideas, to not only follow trends, but lead them. I think collaboration within different groups with similar ideals is a big part in growing the game, and creating positive change. Show less
