Jeff Tara senior designer
Enthusiastic & On-Target
Jeff’s always enjoyed art, but was never too enthused about becoming a starving artist. Luckily one of his buddies showed him a Communication Arts Magazine one day, to which he said, “I can’t believe people actually get paid to have this much fun.” He’s been an outstanding designer ever since.
Jeff’s always been on top of his game: founder and president of Fredonia’s AIGA chapter, president and captain of the club Ice Hockey Team, peer advisor and RA… all while in college. And when he wasn’t focusing on his stellar extra-curricular activities, he was courting his would be wife, Kelly, whom he also met at Fredonia.
Jeff and Kelly now have a beautiful baby girl together, Morgan, and in his more refined years, Jeff’s taken up woodworking and loves to renovate their home.
Jeff’s also got “a thing” for Tom Cruise movies, namely Top Gun, and can snap his fingers faster than Dana Carvey can play the drums in SNL’s Wayne & Garth skit.
