20 Under 40: Erik Quick-Warner

Quip

Born in Springfield, schooled at Marist, and a scholar-athlete graduate of Bushnell (back in his day the jersey said NCU), Erik Quick-Warner has never lived more than a few miles from where he started — by choice. He built Quip, his downtown Eugene creative agency, on a simple idea: the businesses and nonprofits of his lifelong home deserve creative work as good as anything from a big-city agency, and he’s spent years proving it one local brand, film, and website at a time. His favorite titles, though, aren’t on a business card: Husband, Father to Son Rowen, and — come September — his biggest promotion yet: Girl Dad.
