Background

About Chuck Rose

I lead creative teams of designers and developers that create outstanding products by providing vision through hands-on application and demonstration. I build well-coordinated teams through the careful hiring of creative people with a spectrum of skills capable of creating digital products in an ever-evolving technical field. I am currently the Creative Director at The National Cancer Institute, as a full-time contractor via Publicis Sapient. I over see a team of designers, photographers, and videographers to produce a myriad of deliverables including UX design, infographics, motion graphics, videos, and photography. Our mission is to disseminate the latest in government cancer research to patients and health care professionals. Previously I was the Vice President of Design & Development for Ballantine Communications in Durango, CO. Under my leadership I built a Ruby on Rails shop that tightly integrates project management, front-end and back-end development for rapid deployment of new digital products. I bring over 25 years of experience in design and digital publishing to the job. I began my career at The Washington Post where I spearheaded the use of desktop publishing and multimedia. I went on to become Design Director for WashingtonPost.com, and launched their first website in 1995. I then joined USA TODAY where I served in a variety of roles, from Senior Web Designer to Director of Design and Innovation. While at the Gannett company I was the recipient of several awards including USA TODAY Employee of the Year, Gannett Innovator of the Year, Gannett Awards – Public Service Journalism – Use of Integrated Media, Silver Award-Barlett & Steele Awards for Investigative Journalism, and the Associated Press Media Editors Association Digital Storytelling and Reporting Award, among others. In my spare time I enjoy photography, oil painting, animation, and hanging out with my amazing family.
