About Me

I tinker, take apart, experiment and fail. In growing up, college and now the real world I take the unexpected path to see what I will come up with along the way, and so far so good.

My Name is Zach Blank of the Blank clan and the University of Oregon. I graduated with a degree in advertising and a hint of digital art and computer science. I am passionate about digital branding, finding the digital solution for a brand’s problem, and strategically positioning a brand in the digital space so it is congruent with its identity outside of the digital world.

Along with strategy I am passionate about interaction design. User-focused design solutions are integral pieces to a successful branding strategy. Finding and creating solutions for brands to achieve this creates a space for more innovation and creativity than I have seen anywhere else. Looking for these possibilities makes me really excited.

I want to continue my career in an agency where I am able to stand out and have my ideas influence decisions. I hope to work with other people taking chances, trying new things and challenge one another as a team. A highly collaborative, fun environment surrounded by people working towards the same goals is somewhere I know I belong.
