bio: doug bixler
A resident of the Capital Region and Western NY expatriate, Doug has spent the last 25+ years delivering effective and innovative design solutions across a diverse set of environments.
Whether it’s creating packaging for brands like Coach and Disney, promoting and filming virtual programming for the library, or drawing on his son’s lunch bags, Doug has always taken great pride in designing stunning visuals with passion and creativity.
He also takes great pride in being one of the original producers of Schenectady's Electric City Comic Con, which is designed to bring a Comic Con experience to the residents of Schenectady County and the rest of the Capital Region who may not have the financial or travel means to make it to larger conventions in the area or even down to New York City.
He is a designer, an innovator, and an expert on branding. An award winning artist who shares his knowledge and expertise with others, as a frequent consultant and speaker, you can usually know Doug is in the building by his laugh and others’ around him.
When he isn’t tinkering with learning some new piece of software, learning and utilizing AI in fun and exciting ways; Doug can be found with his wife and cats at home, and their son Ben at Siena University, cheering on the Buffalo Bills and Sabres, and working on cars.
