Clayton Roederer (R'OH - durr) is a character designer and caricaturist from the Southern Kentucky area. Armed with a lifetime of drawing and a degree in Visual Studies from Western Kentucky University, Clayton has developed a tenacity for dynamic expressions and visual storytelling. Most of Clayton's portfolio has involved designing and/or illustrating puppets and mascots for commercials and organizations, including Dave Mobile Banking, The Stuff the Bus Foundation, Sublime Media Group, and The Fred Rogers Company. Clayton is also a hobbyist puppeteer with professional training from Sesame Street--an education that's only expanded his understanding of character and motivation. When he isn't busy building his character design portfolio, Clayton enjoys playing piano, singing, cooking, watching movies, and studying niche interests (including entertainment history and primatology).
