My name is Russ Ault, the owner of Veteran Disc Golf. In addition to that, I'm a: father, veteran, artist, graphic designer, outdoorsman, disc golfer, gamer of boards & videos, laughter enthusiast, and emotional support human for a cat & two dogs. My journey to graphic design started in 2010 when I took a drawing class and discovered the power of expression through art. I started with charcoal sticks, dabbled in painting, and fell in love with printmaking. After years of being a father and starving artist, I decided to dive into the digital side of things...graphic design. After four years of accumulating a variety of design knowledge at Portland State University, I believe I am a versatile designer capable of any task I set my mind to. That being said, my strengths are in what I enjoy doing most: ideation, illustration, typography, branding, and visual storytelling.
