Jerry has been a part of the POP/Visual Arts community for over 35 years. Bish provides creative and innovative solutions in-store to market and merchandise for the World’s top brands and retailers. The Bish motto is simple, creativity and innovation never go out of style. Bish started as a small family company in 1955, under Jerry’s leadership they are now a global powerhouse and have the highest award-winning percentage of any company in the business. A week’s mentorship at Bish Creative in Chicago will lead to the best exposure possible to the world of POP Advertising and Marketing Design. Jerry is extremely passionate about PAVE and its mission.

Inspired by Bish Creative’s out-of-the-box award-winning displays, students were asked to include 2-3 pages within their portfolio that showcase the most exciting or outrageous design work that they’ve created “just for fun,” in addition to the standard application materials.
