About Me
Ted Mayer
Chicago-based Designer
My Story
Born and raised in Oak Park Illinois, my upbringing was steeped in creativity. From music to visual arts, I've always strived to spend my time creating.
I've parlayed my creative upbringing into a creative career, utilizing nearly every design medium. From traditional brand design, to 3d modeling and animation, I consider myself a digital tradesman.
My Toolbelt
Over the years, I've learned that design is a wide-ranging, ever-evolving discipline that, surprisingly, has no medium! Branding was the beginning of my journey, but it certainly wasn't the end.

Out of Office
When I'm not hunched over my keyboard, these are the things that keep me busy.
01
Cooking
Born out of necessity, I've grown to love the art of cooking. It's hands down the most immediately gratifying hobby. Let's share some recipes!
02
Bowling
My wife and I are members of the city's most prestigious bowling league, the Monday night league at Fireside Lanes.
03
Golf
I would certainly not call myself a good golfer, but I know how to make contact with the ball. Luckily I have the rest of my life to perfect this hobby.
04
Travel
There is no place on this planet that I wouldn't want to see.
