Creative Force, Brand Developer Extraordinaire & Some Time Teetotaler

Paul Corrado has an eye for the brand, for distilling the message into an image, and turning thoughts into designs.  He helps our clients turn their passion into product.  From direct mail to web design to print advertising, Paul is a key piece to the Wilson Strategic operation.

He's also somewhat devious.  In our profession, that means he is pushing us to be even more engaging and evocative for our clients.  In his personal life, however, it means he's always looking for an angle.  Keep one eye on him at all times.

• On the Night Stand:  The Economist & "The Happiness Hypothesis"
• Guilty Pleasure:  Attending Burning Man
• Short-Term Goal:  "I'm trying to drink alcohol more often, but I'm just not that into it."

Layout Aficionado, Outdoor Addict & All-Around Cheery Fellow 

Christian Silk brings a broad background of artistry to his graphic design work at Wilson Strategic.  From web development to advertising materials; photography to company identiy, Christian has an imaginative and an elegant eye.

He'll make sure you stand out -- rather than get washed out. 

Christian is an avid outdoorsman, who -- with his significant other, Natasha -- makes time to rock climb, snowshoe, and do practically every other sport one can do outside.  It means he keeps a clear head for design work for our team -- and also means he's in much better shape than the rest of us. 

• Education:  I'm sure there was some
• Family:  Natasha, his patient bride
• Favorite Toy:  His Vespa
• Biggest Distraction:  Anything outside
• New Year's Resolution:  Pull more weeds
