Zach Weiss was born in New York City on a summery day in 1984. His childhood was normal by most standards; playing with Legos, Nintendo and gaining some skill with a crayon. High school bored Zach, so he spent his time doodling in the margins of his books. In college, Zach pursued a degree in the arts, and found it most enjoyable. Currently, he is attending the Art Institute of Chicago, where he is working towards an MA in designed objects.
