About Professor George
Bridging Artistry and Expertise in Gold Gilding, Advertising, and Academic Pursuits
Greetings! I’m Professor George, a fourth-generation gold gilder and sign painter with a rich artistic heritage. Born in the Midwest but nurtured in the vibrant landscapes of Phoenix, my creative journey has spanned a spectrum of environments—from big city agencies to quaint local studios. With a dynamic 25-year career as an Art Director and Creative Director, I’ve had the privilege of lending my creative touch to a vast array of brands, both local and international.
Marrying traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design, I find my strengths in concepting, layout, and composition. Yet, my true passion lies in the artistry of typography. Currently pursuing a PhD at Grand Canyon University, I bring a wealth of experience and a dedication to fostering a balance of work and play in the learning environment. Join me as we dive into the world of design—where every stroke has a story, and creativity knows no limits.
“Discipline is the bridge between your goals and accomplishment.”
