ABOUT ME

My name is Bryan Odiamar and I'm a designer/illustrator that was born and raised in Chicago. "Peabe" is a childhood nickname I got because I REALLY liked peanut butter and I REALLY disliked jelly. I went to Columbia College in Chicago, worked various jobs in Chicago, and then moved to Oakland in 2008. I have a deep love for bright colors, great illustration, handwriting, design, LEGO, 80s (Transformers) and 90s (Ninja Turtles, The Simpsons, etc) cartoons, comic books, graffiti, donuts, tattoos, and Chicago sports.

I currently live in Oakland with my wife, daughter, and our dog Toaster (aka Toast Face Killah).

CURRENT OCCUPATION

Associate Creative Director @ pandora radio (2018-present).
I currently lead the Advertising Design team for Pandora Radio.

PREVIOUS OCCUPATIONS

Art Director @ Pandora Radio (2014-2018).
My team handles custom advertising solutions that don't already exist but also try to make sure the same projects can be scaled and turned into a current product. Mainly custom executions for entertainment and high spend clients that want to create unique advertising experiences on web and mobile. We develop new ads from wireframe to development to production.

Senior Designer @ Pandora Radio (2008-2014)
I handled custom projects requiring anything from front-facing interface to back-end coding to complex animation. I also thrived in putting out fires.

Creative Director @ Finally Hip (2011-2016)
I worked on everything from concept to production. I worked with a small team to concept future releases and keep the brand focused. We also networked with other brands and artists for collaborative projects.

Senior Designer @ Emmis Interactive (2005-2008)
I handled custom projects for the various radio stations under the Emmis umbrella and for external clients as well. This also required anything from front facing interface to back-end coding to complex animation.

Art Director @ Aregoni International (2004-2005)
As a team, we would work with clients from the ground up on branding or rebranding their entire look and feel. A majority of the work was for web but we would also develop their print/physical brand.

Freelance Designer (2000-present)
Everything from clothing, to full websites, to party flyers, and then some. If I come across a fun/different project that will challenge me, I'll take it.
