Shawn Smith
ACD art director, Pittsburgh, PA
I ride. It’s what makes me happy when I'm not happily coming up with cool ideas. That's not a B.S. "I love this job" kind of statement. Hey, if you don't get excited about coming up with great ideas, you’re in the wrong line of work.
I build furniture and other items out of old bike tires. Yeah, I’m combining my artsy side with my passion for riding. I figure it’s a really good way to pay for parts on my bikes.
