Show & Tell Design Lecture Series welcomes Jason Sturgill
Jason Sturgill is a former graphic designer turned art director and illustrator. He grew up thinking he couldn’t draw, and it wasn’t until he was in his 30s that he put the proverbial pencil to paper. From a young age, Jason unknowingly has always been a fan of illustration through his fascination with skateboard and album art. This love of art led him to start an online art gallery in 2001 while he was working as an interactive producer at Wieden+Kennedy. His professional career started in advertising in a non-creative capacity, but after having cancer at the age of 28, he made a concerted effort to switch to design, eventually working for Dark Horse Comics and Nike Skateboarding before pivoting into illustration. After working for several years as a professional illustrator, Jason found out he had Bipolar 2 disorder and has integrated mental health advocacy in his personal work that he regularly shares through his Instagram at @jgspdx
