Hello!
happy to meet you!

tony lockhart
Creative Strategist & Illustrator
Way before his design career began in 2011, Tony knew this was his passion since he was 12 years old as he used to design his own toys illustrating them and creating blueprints then sending to companies such as Hasbro with hopes that they would produce his dream toys. Today Tony still has that passion and it shows in his resume. His goal and dream is to create content that leaves a lasting impression on the viewer.
He has been featured in podcasts and won multiple American Advertising Federation Awards and others awards from organizations centered around design. Tony has worked for & collaborated with multiple advertising agencies & brands such as: Blue Cross & Blue Shield, Dodge, American Red Cross, Dunkin', Home Depot, Acura, and ABSOLUT Vodka.

The Mission
Create timeless visuals that leaves a lasting impact on its viewers and users. Function is second nature when it comes design so the true goal is to make it memorable.
a rootin'-tootin' futurist ad loving marksman
Function in design is second nature and I firmly believe in setting up targets before launch to insure your message is received by the right audience. Every step in my process is centered around your goal rather than only execution while still ending with beautiful visuals.
As I craft your creative I do so with your goals in mind whether if it's introducing a new company, product or increasing traffic to a desired location. Cause without goals how would you know if your investment paid off?
