Tyler B. Robinson

Tyler B. Robinson spent his twenties laying a foundation of life experiences he would come to draw upon in his future film work, including honorable service in the U.S. Army as a squad leader / weapons specialist, world travel and seasonal jobs at ski resorts. In 1998, while hitchhiking to a Phish concert, Robinson landed in Portland, where he began to put down roots.

Using the G.I. Bill Robinson went to school for Multimedia and obtained an internship at Food Chain Films, which sparked the beginning of his film career.

With his creative eye, leadership skills, budget consciousness and hands-on approach, Robinson quickly stepped into the position of Art Director and, soon after, Production Designer. Working locally, Robinson cut his teeth on commercials, independent films and webisodes before being offered the TV pilot for Portlandia, which turned into a five season run. In 2014 he was nominated for a Primetime Emmy for his work on the show and was awarded the Art Director's Guild Award for Outstanding Production Design in a TV Series for seasons four and five.

Robinson's feature film credits include The Kings of Summer and the cult hit The FP, both of which received rave reviews at Sundance and SXSW, respectively.

Robinson continues to enjoy success designing national commercial spots for brands, including Old Navy, Volkswagen, Mobil Oil, Nintendo, Mercedes Benz, Kellogg's, Nokia, Dentyne and Nike.
