Why hire grunts when you can have gurus?

Traditionally, too many clients have awarded too many contracts after being wowed by Design Gurus, only to wind up paying top dollar for the agency’s Grunts to actually work on their projects. That doesn’t happen here. Because at Creative Squeeze, what you see is what you get.

The portfolios of work we present come with the same design professionals who created them. It’s only through our unique collaborative approach that we can ensure that you will always receive the high-caliber experience and talent your project deserves.

We’re proud of our handpicked team of Design Specialists, and we invite you to meet some of the collaborators listed below.

Eric Keawekane

Designer, California

Eric Keawekane

Eric’s artistic career started at adolescence when he worked as an apprentice to the great Ed “Big Daddy” Roth (creator of “Rat Fink”). Since then, Eric has chosen to work independently with diverse clientelle, primarily grounded in the surf industry. His client list includes industry leaders such as Billabong, O’Neill, and Honolua Surf Co., as well as mainstream companies like Disney, Holiday Inn, and Razor.

Eric embraces unique and culturally based inspiration, which resonates in the island/surf flavor of his work. Eric’s artistic breadth is evident in his portfolio which includes both graphic design and fine art. Spending most of his artistic time in front of a computer screen, he enjoys the occasional freedom of moving a paintbrush “outside of the mousepad’s corners”.

Holding a BFA and a secondary teaching credential, Eric spends much of his time teaching youth how to explore their creative potential — a worthy endeavor that he loves.
