Tom Gonzalez

Cuban born, came to America in 1970 and made my home in Atlanta Ga. Was in the marketing department and packaging group at The Coca-Coca Company for over 20 years where I had several titles from package designer, principal designer to Sr Creative Development Manager. I work with major brands, both domestic and Global. After my departure there, was a Creative Director and art director for various companies in the Atlanta area.
Was also an illustrator, with clients from Coca-Cola, Delta Airlines and several design and advertising agencies and eventually started doin children’s picture books, where I currently concentrate my work. I have also started doing fine art and portrait work.
With my background in design and creative development, I’m also open for collaboration beyond illustration.
