Rob Clegg

Biography

Rob Clegg is a Creative Director and Art Director who’s spent over a decade proving that good design isn’t decoration, it’s a system. He built his craft over eight years at Burton Snowboards, where he learned how brand identity actually holds up when it has to live everywhere: packaging, signage, retail floors, hallways, merch, the works. He later struck out on his own with RCDD (Rob Clegg Design & Direction), his freelance practice built around the same belief: brands that last are built with intention, not trend-chasing. Now he’s bringing that thinking to Champlain College as Associate Creative Director, where he’s excited to work alongside the design team to further refine and build out the college’s brand.

Rob’s specialty is brand identity and visual systems for the outdoor, action sports, restaurant, and hospitality worlds, industries where a logo means nothing if the story behind it isn’t real. He leads with clarity, designs for longevity, and has little patience for anything that looks good but doesn’t hold up.

Outside the studio, Rob is exactly who you’d expect from someone who spent eight years at a snowboard company: he’s usually outdoors somewhere, snowboarding or mountain biking with his family, or making art just because. He also coaches youth soccer in Colchester, because apparently running one team wasn’t enough. Whether it’s a brand system or a Saturday morning practice, Rob approaches it the same way: build it right, make it memorable, and don’t half-ass the details nobody else would notice.

Favorite local eateries and things to do in Vermont

Some of the best food I’ve had in Vermont is right down the street at Honey Road. SO GOOD! Also, I love exploring the mtb trails or backwoods on my snowboard. I’ve also been know to cast a treble hook or play soccer. Hit me up if you need a sub.
