With almost 30 years of experience in the field of illustration and graphic design, Ed Tuttle offers his clients a wealth of practical experience as well as a broad range of creative services. Working for 16 years as the Senior Designer for Union Carbide Corporation, Ed created annual reports, capabilities brochures, trade show displays, invitations and magazines, working closely with everyone from senior management to sales people, and scientists to plant managers. He understands the need to stay within or below budget, yet produce work that is of the highest quality. Ed offers a sensitivity and professionalism to each project, and is very familiar with the deadlines and politics that can characterize much of corporate work.

Union Carbide also provided Ed an excellent training ground in creating communications for various industries, since the end market for UCC's products was so diverse. Those industries included, but were not limited to:
• Pharmaceuticals
• Automotive
• Paint and coatings
• Chewing gum
• Plastics and their end uses
• Health and beauty
• Irrigation

Corporate communications also covered a wide range:
• Financial
• Charitable contributions
• Benefits booklets
• Technology
• Social issues

Ed started eklektos in 2001, continuing to freelance for UCC's new owner, Dow Chemical. His skills expanded into non-profit and religious organizations, publishing, music, retail and health care.
