Tim Bowen

Owner + Creative Director

As Owner and Creative Director of Creative Slice, Tim Bowen coordinates each project by managing designers and programmers while monitoring overall functionality to ensure the right solutions are launched successfully. Tim specializes in understanding the needs of clients and developing online solutions to enhance their online presence in a meaningful and beautiful manner.

Tim graduated with a Bachelors of Science degree in Industrial Design from the University of Cincinnati, where he learned the importance of research and conceptual problem solving. Tim went on to work for Fitch, an international design firm where he coordinated numerous brainstorming sessions and immersed himself in the design methodologies that drove each project.

In 2002 Tim moved to the Southwest where he co-founded Taos Web Center, a small design firm in Taos, New Mexico. Melting snow in Taos and the end of ski season led to a move to Tucson, Arizona, where Creative Slice was founded in 2003. Tim has built Creative Slice into a leading design firm, working with 100′s of clients and encouraging organizations to be open about their impact on the earth. He started the Green Choice program in 2007 to promote the green choices organizations make every day and showcase what they are doing for the environment. In 2010, Tim founded Spoke6, Tucson’s first co-working office space where creatives can work independently or in collaboration with fellow entrepreneurs.

Tim organizes and facilitates the Tucson Digital Arts Community which holds monthly presentations to help connect people for collaboration, learning, and opportunity. He also co-organizes IgniteTucson, an innovative think-tank speaker-oriented “5-minute presentation” night held periodically in Tucson.

In 2010 Tim played a central role in starting TEDxTucson which brings people together to share a TED-like experience. TEDx Tucson now showcases one of the most popular global conference platforms on “Ideas Worth Spreading” in Technology, Entertainment and Design.

Tim has traveled through 18 countries, including exploring rural Yunnan China on a Puer Tea Tour. He was a professional player for the Washington Power in Major League Roller Hockey League, and is an avid skier and cyclist.

Tim’s personal quest is to create sustainable, captivating innovations inspired by natural beauty and valued relationships.
