Zack Onisko’s Summary

Hi. I'm Zack. I enjoy music, design, the internet, and fun people. I have a BA degree in Communication Design from San Francisco State University. I am on hiatus from my Master of Business Administration studies at SFSU. My previous professional roles have been Art Director, Graphic Designer, User Interface Designer, Web Project Manager, Culture Cultivator, Disc Jockey, Door to Door Vacuum Salesman, Chimney Sweep, and the list goes on.

I am currently the Director of Product and Design for a music based social media start up called MyRockstar. We are a team of four friends and alumni from Tickle Inc. Included in the group is Tickle's co-founder and ex-CFO Rick Marini who helped the company get acquired by Monster Worldwide (MNST) in 2004 for $100MM.

Keep an eye out for the beta launch of MyRockstar Fall of 2008. It's going to ROCK!!
