Robert Bava's Summary
Hey there, I'm mrbava.
An incredibly devoted graphic artist and web designer always on the lookout for a new challenge. I’m a future proof, professional optimist who exceeds expectations and gets things done. My designer DNA allows me to see the world in hex codes, golden ratios and photographic snapshots. I am a jack of all trades and master of many; AND! I’m friendly, motivated and really nice! I strive to one day become the creative director of my own studio.
When not designing or photographing rare birds, I'm cycling and raising money for cancer research. I have two Rides to Conquer Cancer under my belt and have helped raise over $100,000 for Cancer research.
