About Zach Litoff

As the founder of Litoff Studios, specializing in illustration and branding, my journey from an All-American steeplechaser to an Art Director at Apple epitomizes the fusion of discipline, creativity, and strategic thinking. My academic foundation from Santa Clara University, with dual majors in Studio Art and Product Design, and a Masters in Marketing, has equipped me to navigate the complexities of the design and marketing worlds with ease.With a record of collaborating with nearly every major running brand, my work has set benchmarks in the industry. Outside of the athletics industry, my work with Apple has helped bring a creative spark to their screens. This role has not only honed my skills but also affirmed my passion for bringing stories to life through visual art.
