July 26th, 2013 at 8:30 AM
Sign up begins July 22nd at 11:00 AM.

Speaker

Chris Eichenseer is the Founder and Creative Director of Someoddpilot, a branding agency and design studio in Chicago. He's also the director of Public Works, a contemporary art and design gallery. His work has been shown in group and solo shows in LA and Chicago, and is featured on more than four dozen record covers. His 14 years of design and branding experience – for international landmarks that include Pitchfork, Merrell, Caterpillar Footwear, and Budweiser – is backed by a deep understanding of marketing and business strategy. His lifelong entrenchment in the independent music and arts communities has given him unparalleled experience guiding clients to a place of real cultural value. That and he plays drums for a metal band called Beak.
