After graduating from Aberdeen College of Art in Scotland, where he studied graphic design and illustration, Wade tossed his caber into Loch Ness, packed his kilt and headed back to the US of A, where he landed his first job at the highly awarded creative agency Leonard Monahan Lubars & Partners in Providence, RI.

After several years working for some of New England’s most creative agencies, Wade was lured to Arnold in 1999 by Pete Favat to work on Converse.

Since then, Wade has worked on virtually every account the agency has had, including Royal Caribbean and Celebrity Cruises, Monster.com, Fidelity Investments, Southern Comfort and Jack Daniels. Wade has also received accolades from the industry’s most respected awards shows, The One Show, Communication Arts, the ANDY Awards, the Kelley Awards, and the prestigious British Design and Art Direction.

Wade is currently an Executive Vice President, Group Creative Director and the Head of Art at Arnold.
