Victor Rodriguez

With just over 20 years in the business of graphic design (eeek), Victor Rodriguez owns and manages eurie creative, a design boutique in Las Vegas, Nevada. But his creative journey started in Kalamazoo, Michigan and has taken him to Houston, Texas and Orlando, Florida along the way.

As past president of the AIGA Las Vegas chapter, he has been instrumental in the growth of the chapter over the last seven years. In 2004 he was named “Ambassador of the Arts” by the Vegas chapter, an award created to recognize individuals who have made significant contribution to raising the standards of excellence in practice and conduct in the field of graphic design. Victor was also honored by Graphic Design:usa as one of the “Top 50 People” to watch in 2001 and then again in 2005.

Specializing in producing design that achieves marketing objectives and extends communication to a higher level through inspired creative solutions, Victor has since partnered with nationally known clients including SONY Computer Entertainment America, The Upjohn Company, The Walt Disney Company, Toshiba, Harrah’s Entertainment, Ameristar Casinos, Cirque du Soleil, Paramount Home Entertainment & Warner Brothers Strategic Marketing.

Haley Johnson

Haley Johnson is a mass of exposed ganglia. She feels a draft with all the windows closed. Naturally, she's misunderstood, but understands we're all misunderstood. That honest wisdom drove Haley to open her own shop, HJDC, in 1992. Numerous awards and countless accolades later, she's grown up to understand the power of brave clients like Blue Q, Peace Coffee and Jane Jenni, who she loves and serves with devotion, despite the exasperation they sometimes provide. Haley feels fortunate to have achieved any success, but easily laughs it off. After all, she sees more imagination and creativity in 2 minutes with her nieces and nephews than she's ever felt capable of generating in her 20 years of trying. Please do not attempt to tickle her.
