Episode 142 - Ken Rabe, Creative Director and Founding Partner, Rabe & Co. Beacon NY.

Today's guest is Ken Rabe. He is a Founding Partner and Creative Director at Rabe & Co in Beacon NY. During this episode we talk about: -how his three older brothers "forced" him into drawing and artwork. It's not bad, he explains it. -the teachers that helped him build a portfolio to get into art school once he decided that was the direction he wanted to go. -his time bouncing back and forth from large agency to smaller studio and why. -the vinyl album cover artwork that really stood out to him and why. -the two agency designers and how they helped him shape his likes and styles. -the silkscreen printed and laser cut invitation project he was a part of and why that was so cool.-the crossroad he faced in his career where he was working tirelessly on just pitch design after pitch design and what he did about it. I was introduced to Ken through Craig Valentino who is the Senior Designer at Rabe & Co and who I interviewed for Episode 64 of the Quickie Podcast. I'm glad he did because Ken has a lot of experience from his years in the design game and openly shares that with us. @kenrabe @rabeandco
