(In addition to owning Linear creative, Ray is the creative and driving force behind all of Linear Creative's major advertising and design projects.)

Ray is a graduate of The Cleveland Institute of Art with a major in Graphic Arts and a minor in Photography. He is a multifaceted designer with an unerring eye for what works creatively, right down to every minute detail of each campaign. As an art director with experience at both large and small advertising agencies, Ray mastered the ability to be extremely focused on his client's priorities. He works tirelessly to ensure the end result meets every expectation.

At Meldrum and Fewsmith in Cleveland, Ray worked on accounts ranging from Sealy Mattress and Owens Corning to American Woodmark. His business-to-business experience was broadened at McHale & Koepke where he worked on the advertising campaigns for many divisions of Parker Hannifin, Bedford Laboratories, and Geberit, a European plumbing company. Inspired by an entrepreneurial family, and compelled by the belief that excellent creativity had to be accompanied by exceptional service, Ray formed Linear Creative in 2001 with just one client and no employees. Nine years later, Linear Creative has grown to 8 employees and 6 resident freelancers.
