Ed Shems

Creative Relay is a resource for learning, networking and information for creative professionals.

I design for universities and colleges, museums, not-for-profits, and companies large and small.

I create custom illustrations for magazines, children's story books and activity books and advertising agencies. I design t-shirts and other apparel. I create identity systems for companies which includes a logo, business cards, letterhead and any other item a company may need.

I am currently soliciting publishers for books which I have written and illustrated: "The Very Itchy Day" and "How the Pizza Guy Became the Strong Guy" are two examples.

I managed a small board, and with them I conceived, publicized and ran effective and very well-received learning events for creative professionals. I also grew the group's membership, created promotional materials, redesigned and managed the website and forged alliances with a number of partners and sponsors.
