ALTON CREATIVE

I started this little enterprise in August 1997 just hoping to earn a living. I ended up doing that and much more, shutting it down in November 2019 after a fun but draining 22-year run as a business owner. As an athlete would say, I left it all on the field... Alton Creative wasn't a "side hustle" or freelancing- it was my full time job for the duration and I somehow made every payroll despite being a lousy self-promoter. I learned immeasurable lessons along the way about design, business, and managing people. I also learned how to do good work and forge productive relationships under just about every circumstance imaginable. I had incredible mentors who set me up for success and tremendous clients who propelled me forward. If you were in that mix, thank you for being a part of it.
