Deep in the piney woods of East Texas, a boy grew up curious and creative. Art was in his DNA, and by high school he already knew he wanted to be an artist. A scholarship took him to Kilgore College for drawing and painting — until a class called ‘Computers in Art’ changed everything. That’s also where Caleb discovered Raygun Magazine and David Carson. He changed his major, lost the scholarship, and traded a paintbrush for a computer mouse. This was 1997, and Photoshop 4.0 was all the rage.
Fast forward a few years, Caleb moved to Denton, Texas to finish his degree at The University of North Texas College of Visual Arts & Design. Since then he’s worked at a handful of agencies big and small — TM, The Integer Group, Publicis/Hawkeye, Rockfish Interactive, and for 12 years at VML, where he was a Director of Product Experience Design, leading design teams and cooking pancakes once a month for the office.
Outside of work, Caleb is involved in a few organizations close to his heart:
- North Texas Corgi Connection — he and his wife operate this 501(c)(3) corgi-specific dog rescue
- APEC Adaptive Foundation — board of directors
- Big Pig Cancer Foundation — volunteer
When he’s not doing that, he’s likely out on a mountain bike, gravel bike, or bikepacking trip as an ultra-endurance competitor, or out fly fishing somewhere.
