Robert Bava's Summary
Hey there, I'm mrbava.
An incredibly devoted graphic artist and 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 hope to one day become the creative director of my own studio.
When not designing or photographing rare birds, I'm riding my bike and raising money for cancer research. I have two Rides to Conquer Cancer under my belt and have helped raise over $90,000 for Research in Toronto!

From the about section on photo.280dg.com
"Honing his skills since the tender age of 7, Robert always wanted to be an artist. Whether behind the video or still camera, sketching a doodle, or designing a website, Robert truly loves what he does and feels at home. As a quick thinking, enthusiastic photograher, he can work wonders with a photo before it's shot, and after. His sense of humor makes light of any situation and can help calm nerves once the pressure sets in."
