About
Rolf got his start in design via the t-shirt industry through Threadless.com, and while traditional design might be his background, his experience is anything, but.
Since 2005, Rolf has made a definitive impact in the global creative community and pop culture by creating countless viral designs, penning one of the most internationally renown haiku, and found himself surrounded by and collaborating with some of the most talented designers, illustrators and creatives from all over the world.
Rolf has spent the past decade in every design scenario possible. From art directing high-end luxury product photography, to storyboarding commercial video, to facilitating panels and speaking with creative groups all over, he never has a shortage of solutions to problems or stories to tell.
His design approach puts humans and humor first, which is sure to surprise and delight all audiences.
His impact in the local design community can be seen through his involvement with various organizations such as: Creative Mornings Dallas, The Dallas Society of Visual Communications, and AIGA DFW.
He’s had works featured by Engadget, io9, Gizmodo, shared by Comm Arts, worn by Tron Guy, and the privilege to design for companies like Google, Disney, Fossil, Macy’s, Polaris, adidas, DIESEL & More.
When he isn’t designing for humans, he’s doing anything and everything to entertain them on stage with comedy or music, and remotely through podcasts or video content.

Creating an editorial design for a new magazine, shooting a commercial, or concepting an off-the-wall digital experience for a trade-show are very different channels to communicate, but omnichannel creative approaches are my specialty.
