Beau Eaton: Owner & Creative Director in Marina del Rey, CA

http://www.hksinc.com For the past 9 years, I’ve had the unique opportunity to work with a wide variety of people across HKS’ 26 offices. I’ve balanced a workload of print and digital projects from two different teams, the Brand Identity Group and the Integrated Communications Group. From very early on, I have been given the opportunity to manage my projects from concept to completion. This includes meeting with clients, leading presentations, developing strategies, creating concepts, producing the work and working with printers and developers to execute the final piece, on time within budget. I also have experience with the interviewing and hiring process for design interns and design professionals. I've mentored a number of interns and junior designers, helping integrate them into the HKS system and working with them to realize and achieve their full potential as a designer.

http://www.choose2exit.com EXIT is an experiential brand that taps into the action of escaping the everyday life through surfing, skating and snowboarding. I use the brand as an outlet for designing t-shirts and skateboard decks and donate at least 50% of the profits to industry related non-profits. To date, I have donated to the A.skate Foundation, Life Rolls On, Stoked LA, Heal the Bay, Boarding for Breast Cancer and Water for Waves.

http://www.churroborough.com Churro Borough is the brainchild of Los Angeles pastry chef Sylvia Yoo. In 2011, Sylvia invented the churro ice cream sandwich and started to make a name for herself through pop ups, catering gigs and food festivals. I met Sylvia in 2013 and she asked me to help her do a complete rebrand for Churro Borough. Once the rebrand was complete, Sylvia asked me to join the team as the Creative Director to continue to develop and manage Churro Borough's brand identity. In 2015, Sylvia took Churro Borough to the next level by opening a store in Los Feliz and I worked with her on applying the brand identity as an experience throughout the store.
