While freelancing for the past 20 years, he's created illustrations for companies such as Nestlé, Starbucks Coffee Company, Microsoft, Unilever, the NBA, Amazon.com, Nintendo of America and Coca-Cola. One of his most recognizable brand marks is the illustrated scene on the Deer Park Water label. His first significant experience as a commercial artist was working for Starbucks Coffee just as the company was going national and then international.

As a writer Ian provided stories and captions supporting Magda's photo-essays for the New Yorker Magazine and wrote of their adventures in the travel blog entitled "North via South". A native of Seattle, Washington, Ian got his BA in Graphic Design at Cornish College of the Arts and after graduating worked briefly as a graphic designer before realizing all he really wanted to do was draw pictures and write stories.
