Pete Proper
Art Director
Hired: June 1997
Indispensible:
With an interest in art stemming back to the comic books and Saturday morning cartoons of his early years, Pete uses his technological mastery to create cool art for RMG's clients. Totally unflappable in the face of even the most crushing deadlines, Pete plays an integral role in ensuring that projects get out the door on time. He's also the company's unofficial computer handyman and is able to straighten out the quirks (and Quarks) of temperamental computers.
Education:
Brown Institute: Degree in Advertising Design
Notable Achievements at Risdall:
Pete contributed to a display development for Pur water filters that changed the retail presence for that type of product everywhere.
Pete helped create a new identity and product families for Fox River Mills that allowed them to compete as a premium sock brand.
Pete played a major role in designing and developing new packaging for Premier Mounts, a leading provider of mounting solutions for the A/V industry that worked much harder to sell the product from retail shelves.
Account Experience:
Pur, USFilter, HomeRight, VerticalNet, SafeWater, Fox River Mills, Compex, Raymedica, Premier Mounts, Hospira, Optum Health, Alliance Management
The Last Word:
Pete met his wife, Erica, here at Risdall. Working together as co-creative directors, they produced a beautiful daughter, Lucy. And, when asked by friends, Pete is happy to report that "yes, we still work together."
