About

Troy Kadavy

I’m Troy Kadavy and am an artist at heart but a designer by trait. Originally from the village of Mead, Nebraska. A quaint small town that enabled me to grow and develop close to my family and friends. I had a fabulous art teacher at Mead, who assisted me in furthering my skills with the pen and brush, but also gave me the push towards other venues. In retrospect, her mentoring helped me greatly then and still does now.

I attended Metro and received my Associates in 99. After that I attended Creighton for a breif stint and decided to become a freelance artist. By a chance meeting, I was able to start working on a project by project basis for W Design. This was my first true design gig and from it I was able to work with such individuals as Bo Diddley, Ronnie Mislap, Larry Gatlin and the Oak Ridge Boys; to name a few. Although it was great work I was perhaps a bit naive with my business tactics of “If I build it others will come.”. So alas, I went back to the wide world of corporate america.

I did end up at Bellevue University and graduated with my BA in web design.

Currently I work for myself and can honestly say that I’m part of an awesome team. In this field, the one thing I have found is that you truly can not sit still. As my father told me “Son, know that you are good, but realize that you can always do better.”
