Like other stories, ours began like many: After 20+ years in the creative industry and numerous inquiries for freelance work, Anthony decides to leave his full-time, VP of Creative role in Chicago – during the height of the pandemic – to pursue his dream of running his own studio.

FORGING a new Path

He sets out to help brands large and small, locally and globally, get back on track with a hand-selected team.

His daughter initially thought he might have lost his mind. But after completing her master’s degree at the University of Chicago, she decides to join him.

Now, what started as a freelance dream in 2005 has become a full-blown creative studio, working with start ups and brands around the globe.

"I've always loved the creative process, the creative teams, and the final creative product. I never saw myself as a small business owner, but Path has given me the freedom to work closely with new brands and new people on projects that will positively change not only their bottom lines, but hopefully the outcome of their lives. And that's pretty damn cool."

A little more on “A”

Born on the southeast side of Chicago — “The Eastside” — Anthony attended the Academy of Art and worked his way from an entry-level designer through the agency ranks to eventually become a VP of Creative in Chicago. In 2020, he officially launched Path Creative to follow his passion for creative, strategy, and content creation.

 “Family is everything, and I’m fortunate to work closely with mine these days—along with an incredibly talented and creative network every day.”
