With a degree in Visual
Communications from the Art Institute of Pittsburgh, Don
has focused his creativity in a variety of fields
including; graphic design, sales, marketing, promotion,
training, and customer service.
Don pays special
attention to business and social trends, creating ideas
that average 6-months ahead of the early adopter curve,
but sometimes he jumps ahead and misses his mark by by a
year or two (at one point a DTIG idea was more than 10
years ahead of the trend -- he hasn't yet decided if that
was a positive or a negative...)
Don is a proud
member of the BzzAgent community, and is featured
in BzzAgent.com
founder Dave Balter's book "Grapevine:
The New Art of Word-of-Mouth Marketing."
His website, DonTheIdeaGuy.com,
is a popular destination for anyone searching the web for
ideas on creativity and innovation. His web log "Brain|Blog"
provides an (almost!) daily dose of creative thinking. |
