meet craig moser: still bummed he's not working with flyers fans, but getting over it.
What do you do at GDS?
I do a little bit of everything here - from working on logos, to designing web sites. I'm also involved in the coding and programming of sites, and making beautiful CSS.
What's your background? How did you get into this racket?
Although I am an athlete at heart, my mother encouraged me to do something that would not require the hospital. It is not like six knee surgeries, one shoulder surgery, five concussions, and countless broken bones while in high school is that big of deal. Needless to say I was stuck in my room most high school which is when I found my love for graphic design. Since then I decided to go to Vo-Tech in high school and further my education by going to college (Kutztown University). As a freshman in college I was designing packaging for Just Born Candy which produces Peeps, Mike & Ikes, Zours, Peanut Chews, and Hot Tamales. The last two years of college I interned for a Philadelphia agency and designed internally for the Philadelphia Flyers and 76ers. Somewhere in there I also fell in love with designing and coding websites. Never did I think my mom yelling at me for always being hurt would take me so far.
What types of projects are your favorite?
My favorite project is when a new company gives me full creative freedom to do what I think is best for them. I love seeing my projects carried through from identity and branding to the web. A project with a happy client is always nice too.
What do you do when you're not at work?
If I am not glued to my computer chair, blasting my music, designing, and spending endless hours on the web I may be found: Watching the Flyers, Eagles, and Phillies (not the Yankees), lacrosse, running, gym, mountain biking, kayaking, fishing, traveling, hanging out with friends, and watching the annoying little sister play soccer.
