Tyler Wic Neal is an award-winning creative and art director whose passion, leading-edge approach, and artistic aptitude have earned him the reputation as an innovative creative mind in the design community. While he specializes in numerous areas of the industry, he is especially well-versed in designing brand identities and publications.

Born, raised, and based in the heart of Charlotte, North Carolina, the creative spark entered Tyler’s life the moment he picked up his first camera at the age of five. By the time he was seven, he received his very first computer and digital publishing software. It wasn’t long before his avid interest in art and photography transformed into an unyielding passion in both middle school and high school. From there, he decided he had no choice but to turn graphic designing into a vocation. It was in that moment when the initial spark in his childhood became a self-sustaining, ever-expanding flame.

During the past decade, Tyler has won a multitude of design competitions, ranging from local and national, to international. Today, he proudly serves as Art Director at the American Cancer Society.
