Experience Makes A Difference.
While in high school I got a job designing menus for Crown Press in Detroit, Michigan, working after school and summers from 1959 to 1964.
I took a year off from attending college at Pratt Institute in 1964 to work for The American Museum of Natural History in New York. I did graphics and direct mail campaigns for Natural History and Nature & Science magazines.
I graduated from Pratt in 1966 and accepted a position with Ford & Earl Design Associates in Warren, Michigan. One project was designing the packaging for Ford Motorcraft Auto Parts.
I joined the Peace Corps in 1967 and went to Micronesia. I was the art director for the Micronesian Reporter, a government quarterly publication, and I helped organize the first Micronesia Arts Festival.
In 1969 I returned to New York and went to work for Jarrin & Levitan Associates in Design. I helped design a series of exhibits for the United States Information Agency, a traveling exhibition called Artrain, and packaging for Mohawk Liqueurs and Faygo Beverages.
I moved to Gloucester, Massachusetts in 1970 and formed Graffix Studios Photography & Design with a fellow Peace Corps Volunteer. Clients included ParaResearch Software, Cape Ann Medical Center, Harris Boats, and Open End--a maker of games.
In 1975 I came to Asheville, North Carolina to be a partner in a new advertising agency--Kelso Associates Advertising & Design. Clients included An-Ton Chevrolet-Olds-Buick, Inn on the Plaza, Maggie Valley and Haywood County Chambers, WNC Golf Association, Waynesville Country Club & Inn, and Asheville Mall.
I branched out on my own in 1984 as Bob Boeberitz Design.
