A Knoxville native with a knack for art

Robin Easter is a local artist who has definitely left her mark on Knoxville through her career in graphic design. While her name may not be commonplace, her work sure is. Think about your favorite local Knox shops, eateries, and more, and it is quite likely that Easter has been involved in at least one of those. The branding and logos of Tomato Head, Sunspot, Bliss, Aubreys, Maple Hall, and Urban Wilderness are just a few of the products that have been cranked out by her design studio. Her firm, Robin Easter design, is situated in the heart of Old City and provides a full range of services including brand development, website development, print design, signage and display design, electronic communication and more. They seriously do it all while never failing to produce iconic and quality works of art. The best part of her work? It is so visible within our community. Just take a drive downtown and look around! Her work has also been featured for sale in local shops like Rala. Easter herself serves as principal and creative director of the firm and has been gifting the city of Knoxville with her talents for over 25 years. It also doesn’t hurt that she is a UT graduate who is clearly devoted to the growth and beautification of Knoxville. Go Vols! In her spare time, she also volunteers with the graphic design programs at UT and Pellissippi Community College and the local organizations of Legacy Parks Foundation, Knox Heritage, Historic Old City Neighborhood Association, and Henry’s Fund. Her driving force is to give back to this community and it is clear that we are quite lucky to have her! 

Shown below are some of her many creative and artistic contributions to our city!

  1. That is so cool! I always wondered how they were able to create the logo for Outdoor Knoxville with all the cool features of Knoxville in the circle. So much creativity!
