I’m the creative director at Mojave, an interactive agency that helps leading brands create engaging interactive experiences that go far beyond the banner. Prior to joining Mojave, I was the Interactive Creative Director of Young and Rubicam San Francisco, where I helped create award-winning online experiences for such brands as 7up, AMD, Chevron, Microsoft, NCAA and Hitachi.

My passion for interactive media comes from the early days of discipline, when in 1995, I saw the potential of the early web and left the world of traditional art direction to focus on building brands online. I’ve worked on many great brands, including Yahoo!, Electronic Arts, HBO, Polycom, Dr. Pepper, Cisco, and Apple.

I specialize in creating strategic, engaging user experiences that live across multiple media, including online, print, TV and point-of-sale.

Testimonials

“Not only is this a recommendation for Robert, but Mojave Interactive as a whole. Robert has created an agency that allows creatives to actually be creative, and it shows in their work. I don’t consider him a boss, as he doesn’t “boss” you around, but rather a great collaborator who never micro-manages the creative process. Robert and his group of gurus constantly look for new opportunities in the ad world and refuse to get stifled by convention. Mojave is a shop creatives should jump at the chance to work with, and the first place clients should look to bring their business to the forefront of their industry.”

“…bringing creative brilliance and a probing mind to the design challenges thrown his way. He often devised visual solutions that could only have come from his unique vision. On top of his intuitive leaps, he was dependable and professional in often stressful circumstances.

“Working for Robert was a great experience for me and the entire team at Y&R during his time there. His concepts and ideas were always on point with the goal of the client, and he was always looking for ways to drive the projects into a more interactive experience than what the client was used to. We possibly did the best interactive projects at Y&R San Francisco during his time there. I highly recommend his talent to others.”

“Robert worked with me on many projects, and on every one created the spark to push our work to the next level. He seems to be able to handle an incredible work load without showing any signs of stress. He also continually impresses me with his depth and breadth of knowledge of design and digital media.”
