Tony Neary
Designer • Teacher • Speaker • Chief Creative Officer at OBF
My interest is solving business challenges through design, and having fun doing it. You are building your brand for a reason. You aim to connect with people, to create value, to increase sales, and to have purpose. That’s what I am here for.
Over 25 years, my work has been featured in Inc. Magazine, Graphic Design USA, Venue Magazine, and numerous editions of LogoLounge, including the honor of having more than 20 brand logos showcased in their publications, including the Master's Series.
I believe in passing on what I have learned. I have served as an instructor at The Modern College of Design where I was honored as Educator of The Year by the American Advertising Federation. Today, I proudly advise on the school’s Program Advisory Council. I’ve served on the boards of Elementz and Huenited, both dedicated to the growth and education of creative students.
My mission today is leading an incredible team at Olberding Brand Family (OBF) as the Chief Creative Officer. OBF is a 4th generation, independently owned business dedicated to helping move brands from design to shelf. The world’s most confident consumer brands trust OBF to make the brand and package design experience easy from concept to shelf.
Tony Neary Design is focused on building the local businesses and small brands in my community.
Selection of Brand Experience:
“I believe life is all about faith, family, and serving others. I believe handshakes and your word mean everything. I believe we are creating for people, not consumers. I believe in grilling burgers with charcoal, period. I believe that Van Halen was the perfect rock band with David Lee Roth (still awesome with Sammy.) I believe that you’re only as old as you feel. I believe we can create something great together.”
