Tomko Design

I have been a graphic designer for 24 years, and 18 of them have been spent as the founder and creative director of Tomko Design. My father was born in Dayton, Ohio, and I remember being able to sit quietly with a sketchbook and pencil and draw from a young age. Growing up in Dayton and later in Eastlake, Euclid, was wonderful. My younger sister and I attended Dayton kindergarten and Eastlake Elementary School. We moved to Arizona in 1981 when I was in fifth grade. We had to draw quickly in Arizona due to the heat, and I liked to do it. My friends and teachers were amused by my characters and drawings, and it continued even when I attended Peoria High School. This high school was in the same building as Glendale Community College. I completed at PHS in 1990.
