Since he first received the graphic arts badge as a cub scout, Robbie had dreams of becoming a graphic designer. As he completed a service requirement at Cooper Union and walked Paul Rand across a busy NYC street, he knew that his dream had become a reality. After 4.5 years of working diligently for his BFA badge at The Cooper Union, Robbie gladly accepted the promotion to the Chop Scouts.

Not only did Robbie study design at Cooper, but he did a majority of design for Cooper. Working at the Herb Lubalin Study Center, he art directed and designed the National Graphic Design Image Database. Occassionally, Robbie jamboreed at Hearst, Slap Studio and Indigo Information Design.
