Lar Kress began his creative trek at a very young age. By the time he was 10, his drawings, paintings, sculptures and inventions were winning awards at local creative shows. Lar enhanced his talents while attending college at the California Institute for the Arts. His instructors noticed his gift and employed him to work on national print and collateral campaigns for well know companies such as CBS Records. While in school, Lar designed national advertising campaigns, movie posters (Paramount Pictures - Romancing the Stone), album covers for well known bands including Kansas, corporate newsletters for Honda, product packaging for See’s Candies and special promotional projects for world famous musicians including Michael Jackson.

Lar went on to sharpen his skills in marketing, advertising and design while working for numerous national advertising and design agencies, as well as in many in-house corporate positions. He specialized in the high-tech market and worked with many nationally recognized companies including Blockbuster, Lipton, Magnavox, Mattel, Max Factor, Motorola, Pioneer Electronics, Qualcomm, Quantum, Rubbermaid, Samsung Electronics, Seagate, StairMaster, Twentieth Century Fox and The Rolling Stones.

Lar has been recognized both nationally and locally with numerous honors including CLIOS, Best in the West, The Creative Show and ADLA awards. He has a proven track record of bringing vision and powerful impact to corporations, directly impacting their business growth. With nearly 20 years in the business, Lar has established an excellent reputation as one of the top designers in Southern California.

Lar's motto is one he authored himself, "imagination is measured by the impossible." Stelzner Consulting is privileged to have Lar Kress as one of their top designers and as a creative director.
