Andre Pope’s Summary
Right out of college, I decided it was the best time to try and do a venture of my own. Without much to loose I was on my way. That was eight years ago. 803 Productions went from a two man operation working out of a kitchen to a 8 man organization to a successful merger with another area powerhouse. Look forward to continue to grow a nice slow but steady pace and venture into new realms of business.
Not only do I act as business owner, my real role is Creative Director. I oversee and work hands-on on various design projects - spanning from complete identity designs to advertising campaigns to product development. The creative in me is alway in sponge mode, soaking it all in.

Creative Genius is what it say on my business card. While some say that may a little pretentious I however feel as it is just confidence in what I do. Working in the field for a while now and going to school for direct study I have attained a little more insight into the design world than your average person of the street. I eat, live and enjoy design everyday. While my present duties as business owner have taken me away for m day in and day out designing I still over see and manage every design project that comes through the door.
