Since his time growing up in the Finger Lakes in New York, alumnus Brian Kappel (1998 - Visual Arts) has long had a passion for Penn State. This second generation Nittany Lion took a very different path which provided a one of a kind experience in Happy Valley and paved the way for a successful career in art and design.
The now Portland-based designer and visual artist has completed work for the College Football Playoff, Nike, Jordan Brand, and a mural for the Paterno Library Starbucks. He also now owns his own design company, "Space Monkey Designs."
In our conversation with Brian we talked about his strong family ties to Penn State, many involvements as a student, a love sports, working with Nike and the Jordan Brand, creative inspiration, and his artistic creation for the Paterno Library Starbucks.
