ZACH BASTEN - CREATIVE DIRECTOR / ART
ABOUT ME:
I’m originally from Appleton, Wisconsin, and proudly embody numerous Wisconsin stereotypes like a love of cheese and finding any excuse to tailgate. I visit my home state quite often to visit family, partake in delicious tailgates at Lambeau field and enjoy days on Lake Poygan.
My career started out in beer. I worked and lived in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, where I worked as a designer at the original Leinenkugel’s Brewery and Leinie Lodge. As much as it pained me to leave that magical place, I moved to Chicago to pursue advertising and have never looked back.
After living in the incredible city of Chicago for 5 years, I recently moved out to the suburbs with my wife, Sarah, son, Chase, and Australian Shepherd, Harper.
Outside of work, I am an obsessive sports fan and one of those people who actually enjoys running. But I counteract that healthy hobby with my joys of making homemade pizza, baking cookies, and cooking anything in the Instant Pot.
Thanks for checking out my work. I am always up for a challenge, so don’t hesitate to reach out.
