THE CREW
Good design comes in threes fives.
Paul Fucik
DESIGN & ADMIN DEPT.
ART: Paul is a self made designer and entrepreneur. He founded Arts and Recreation in 2010 following his successful stint as a partner at The Decoder Ring. He brings a journeyman’s straight talk and a designer’s boundless curiosity to every project. He sets a high standard for creative work, and demands that it create real impact for his clients. He’s just as passionate about building a team of equally driven designers.
REC: In the off hours, you’ll find Paul outside — biking, skating, surfing, and hanging with his kids.
Clint Breslin
DESIGN DEPT.
ART: Clint started his design career by going west—taking his design degree to one of the leading motocross brands in California. It was only natural for someone who attempted his first dirt bike jump at age six (into an empty swimming pool no less…). When he came back to Texas, he found Arts and Recreation the ideal place to put the same passion into design that he did into those early rides. He always goes the extra mile to make every project he touches the best it can be.
REC: When he’s not burning the midnight oil in the studio you’ll find him burning up his personal MX track or on his tractor building the perfect jump.
Adam Dodson
DESIGN DEPT.
ART: Even though Adam’s the youngest of the Arts and Rec bunch, he’s a veteran around the studio. “Young Adam” brings a new school approach that balances some of our old school ways.
REC: A musician at heart, you’ll find Adam writing and recording his own music, or playing shows around town. Ask him about guitar pedals or listen @adam.dodson
Julie Pizzo
DESIGN DEPT. & PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT
ART: Julie started her career in magazine publishing in NYC, and has since expanded to focus on visual identity, experience design, and production. She is a creative thinker and strategist, with an eye for developing timeless design with unique, efficient solutions. She loves seeing good design expressed across physical touch points and the built environment.
REC: When she’s not working, Julie enjoys spending time outside with her two little dogs, working on her 1940’s house, or seeking out inspiration through travel and museums.
Daniel Piedra
DESIGN DEPT.
ART: Born in northern Mexico and raised San Antonio, Daniel, is now exploring the “weird” city of Austin. His design is driven by curiosity – learning new ways to create products from the digital to the handcrafted.
REC: After 5pm, you might find Daniel ankle deep in sand playing volleyball with his team, The Volley Partons. You may also catch him at one of his favorite Austin restaurants with friends sharing the most important things in life - chips, queso, and drinks.
Marti
HARD DRIVE PROTECTION
Marti makes sure all HR protocol is being enforced in the studio.
Having been bitten by a rattlesnake on three separate occasions, Marti has mellowed a bit and has limited her interest to squirrels.
