Stuart Sandler

Interactive Design Director

Joined the agency in January 1998

Background:

Stuart began as a print art director at ad agencies in Florida and then Milwaukee, WI. A font maven, he began developing his own fonts and developed a web page to market them. During the development of the page, Stuart learned more about the possibilities of creating a world within the world and sharing it across countries. Within a month his web site was receiving over 1,000 hits a week from people all over the world and he found himself more and more obsessed with the idea of digital creation and design. He was hooked.

The Next Step:

Stuart gained some attention and soon was fielding freelance interactive creation projects for several companies in addition to his print design work. During this time, Stuart realized he had discovered his true medium. While other artists might work best in clay or oil, Stuart felt most comfortable creating through the Internet. He brought his experience with him to RAA, where he is completely focused on overseeing the agency's interactive creation, conceptualization and design work.

The Early Years:

Stuart grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, with a twin brother, Eric, and an older brother named Adam Sandler (NOT the current comic of Saturday Night Live fame). He attended college at the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and when he received his degree in Visual Communications (with a minor in Advertising Design), worked there for a few years before falling in love with Milwaukee and moving back to the heartland to continue his design work.

Significants:

Achilles, a black tabby/Persian beauty born during Hurricane Andrew. The cat's personality is known to be as unpredictable as the hurricane was.

Interests:

Fonts and the exploration of interactive media are definitely still central in Stuart's life activities. He spends many hours on the net, soaking up what's new, what's working, and who's out there. He also likes to cook, and is currently in his 'Cloning American Fare' period, having achieved the perfect Egg McMuffin and the perfect Chi Chi's salsa recipes.

Personna:

Stuart is constantly discovering the 'more to life' part of life, seeking to engage people in stimulating conversation and really know them.
