About Ross Cattelan

I believe that design should start with empathy and focus on connecting people with meaningful and fulfilling experiences. I bring a fresh perspective to each project, implementing creative strategy, developing comprehensive visual standards, and bringing great ideas to life, while always maintaining a focus around my audiences\' needs. With over 20 years of experience in consulting, advertising, design studios and as an independent creative, I have gained extensive knowledge in branding, experience design, advertising, print, packaging, and environmental design. Along the way, I have helped mentor teams to create captivating design experiences. I have nurtured brands both large and small from seedlings to firmly rooted. Some of the big ones are Microsoft, Parametric, Washington State Wine, Avanade, Miller Brewing Company, Bing, Xbox, Sound Transit, The Green Bay Packers, and Great Wolf Resorts.
