Raised in suburban Cleveland, Abe honed his passion for the visual arts during summers at Parson’s School of Design and the Cleveland Institute of Art before pursuing a BFA in Graphic Design at Columbia College Chicago. Upon graduating, he cut his teeth at some of the city’s top design organizations where he worked with a wide range of clients, from indie startups to household names. Currently, Abe serves as the Sr. Director of Brand Design at Resident Home, a direct-to-consumer home goods company. When not hunched over his computer, Abe spends his time exploring local hiking trails with his rescue mutt Carl, trying not to hurt himself rock climbing, and continuing his lifelong search for Chicago’s best smashburger.
