Robby Pande

Senior Designer

Previous Work Experience: My passion for design blossomed on a fateful fall day back in the '70's, when I learned how to hold a crayon and draw a picture. Unfortunately for my mom, my "canvas" came in the form of my bedroom walls. Fast-forward... Professionally, my canvas went digital in 1998 at Time Out New York where I simultaneously served as an editorial and promotions designer. I was very fortunate in my dual role to not only design various sections of a fast-paced weekly magazine, but also all of their unique marketing materials. At the same time, I started my own one-man design business — Pandesign — taking on various assignments mostly from Off-Broadway theatre companies (including the Classic Stage Company and Signature Theatre Company). In summer 2000, I relocated to San Francisco where I continued to foster Pandesign, working primarily with clients from major SF arts institutions such as SFMOMA, the California College of the Arts, Fort Mason Center, the Wattis Institute, and a number of art galleries. In spring 2006, a year after earning my master's degree in SF, I returned to New York City. Having barely even unpacked my boxes, I took on what I thought would be a 3-day freelance stint at 'nition/Chandler Chicco Agency. As the story goes, 3 days turned into 3 weeks turned into 3 months... and I was honored to join 'nition as a full-time designer in December 2006.
