Frank Chimero-What Makes Him TIck....J.K. Just Some Info

Frank Chimero was born in Long Island, New York. His family moved to Springfield, Missouri when he was 8 years old.

Chimero states that he never really "dreamed" about being a graphic designer. His graphic career started to bud when he was in high school because his friends needed some advertisment for their band (t-shirts, posters, etc.). He then went to study at Missouri State to advance his design and illustrating techniques.

After college, he really was nervious on what his next step should be. He set up base in his hometown and become a freelancer for the summer. Afterwards though, he had enough clients that paid his bills so he decided to keep with being a freelancer. Although he is a freelancer, he is not really big on being alone. He moved his work into an office with a few friends that way he gets some interaction with people. He also teaches design at the university.

Interesting fact: Alan Fletcher was a big insperation for Chimero. To him, that was the only person out there that wasn't so "serious" about design, but designed in a way that was happy and innocent.
His clients include: The New York Times, Business Week, Starbucks, Fast Company, American Airlines, Edizioni Corraini Press, and Good Magazine.
