Jerry Shelton

 

“I really don’t remember a time in my life when I wasn’t obsessed with graphic design, art and making things.”

 

While I was a student at Lubbock Christian University I had a variety of part-time and summer jobs. From working at a sawmill, and making pizza, to selling radio advertising and working as a designer for a small town advertising newspaper. I graduated in 1983 with a BA in communications and I have been in advertising and marketing my entire career. If you are interested in the details my resume is available for download.

I married Carla and we have two grown children who have their own marketing and communications business. [ www.ContractCre8ive.com ]

In addition to graphic design I like to fancy myself a bit of a maker. When I’m working in my studio or in my workshop I am very at home.

Nice words from people I really appreciate

“We get to deal with some wonderful advertising talent in our role as vendor / partner with supermarkets around the country. I can honestly say that Jerry is one of the most talented Advertising Directors that we work with. And he is a very fine guy to boot. It is an honor to get to work with he and his team. Our people have never had a cross word to say about Jerry and that says a lot.”

“Jerry is a great designer. With his knowledge, I have learned so much from him that I choose to refer to him as a mentor not just a friend, or even client for that matter. His ideas are always creative and his experience in the industry is second to none. I would highly recommend him to anyone.”
