Adams County National Bank, Hanover Lantern and Littco get an OGG image redux. I concentrate on contract furniture, product and visual marketing. Businesses grow with design and relationships are forged.
Stow Davis, Emeco Industries, Steelcase. Process patents and design patents, full size prototypes. I build all that I design to make it work. Teaching at Art Center Europe in the late 80s, DuPont design interface and technical plastics are applied to furniture.
Graham Engineering and process machinery lead to Graham Packaging and bottle design; Tropicana, Purex, Hershey Foods, Danone, Coco Cola, Pepsi, Quaker Oats. This turns into thirteen years of growing a business and making proprietary packaging part of the conversion landscape.
Seasoned and weathered to a degree. Vintage like a good Cab . . . The saga continues with a return to contract furniture, BlockHouse Contract, OGG product and business development in motorcycle parts, apparel and brand development. Vskin, CRABker and more.
