I am John Rizzo. I am a “traditionally” trained print designer and self-taught web designer.

I attended the College of Design, Architecture, Art and Planning (DAAP) at the University of Cincinnati. During college I completed 6 quarters of design internships. I had the opportunity to work at: Exhibitgroup/Giltspur, a mid-sized exhibit design firm in Erlanger, Kentucky; D3, Inc. (now known as Spur Communications), a small design agency in Kansas City, Missouri; Walmart.com, a large retail website in San Francisco, California; and FS Creations, a small education software firm in Cincinnati, Ohio.

I graduated in 2004 after completing my 6 coop quarters and the 5-year DAAP graphic design program. I began working at Bridge Worldwide in the fall of 2004 as a designer. I have since concepted, designed and art directed my way to senior designer while working on printed brochures and sales materials, websites, banner ad campaigns, emails and other web-related marketing pieces.

Currently I focus the majority of my design expertise on healthcare-related brands, including such brands as Ethicon Endo-Surgery, Inc., P&G Pharmaceuticals and Abbott Nutrition.
