Craig Schwartz is a Creative Director based in Chicago.

Forgoing my aspirations of becoming a famous illustrator, I began
my career as an art director in New York City, moving with my wife in the early 90's to Chicago where we've been ever since. 

  At the core of everything I do is a passion for the "big idea," a respect and appreciation for all those I am working with, an eagerness to mentor along with a never-ending desire to learn, evolve and grow. 

When not practicing my creative craft, you'll likely find me cheering on my younger daughter at one of her many soccer games. I occassionally spend time searching for the Holy Grail–Chinese food like you get in NYC, or appreciating the visual media arts. (Okay I admit it, I like TV.)

While I love Chicago, I will always be a New Yorker at heart. Plans have already begun for my New York Language Academy®—a school for the children of transplanted New Yorkers like myself who wish to preserve the distinctive and ancient dialect of Newyorkese.

Can you say “Caw-fee?”
