Award-winning Creative Leader @ ROKA | Branding, Photography, Video Production, Advertising, Marketing | ex. GERBER/Fiskars Corp., SmartWool/VF Corp.

Creative & Design

Todd Bischoff is a creative visionary with over 20 years of experience in the outdoor industry. As an award-winning creative leader his passion goes to brands in the outdoor space that want to do transformative work, and that is why he chose to join ROKA. As the VP of Creative he leads a diverse team of talented individuals responsible for growing the brand's global identity and creative marketing for today's customers. 

Before joining ROKA, he served as the creative lead for several outdoor industry brands, leading creative, photography and production. Prior to those roles, he was a graphic designer for multiple agencies across the continent. He would argue that his career really began as a child who was obsessed with drawing animals in nature, but the reality is it started in college when he designed his first logo and built his first homemade camera. 

Passionate about the outdoors and dedicated to the craft, Todd believes that great design at minimum should seduce, shape or evoke an emotional response. And to limit your space is to limit your ideas. Which is why his office chair is the chair lift and his creative meetings start at the trailhead.

VP of Creative

Everyone claims to be the best. But to be the best, you have to stand out, go beyond trend. 

As designers, we see the world in a different way. And as Matt Mattus states “Power is in the hands of the creative, the power to change lives with a single image–a photo, drawing, concept, structure, vehicle, aircraft, garment or anything else that the creative mind can invent. Remember that design itself may be as simple as art, but it also can be defined as the ultimate human expression.”
