Better Know a Member – Greg Albright

By on July 20, 2009

Snoopy AlbrightIndianapolis born, Greg Albright, owner of Greg Albright Design realized at a very young age art was a passion that would stay with him a lifetime. This passion set into motion his path toward years of education and hard work to bring this childhood vision to reality as a designer and artist.
He began this journey in eighth grade when Mr. Bower, his art teacher, encouraged him to purse his talent. By the time he was in high school, he had decided to attend the John Herron School of Art at IUPUI (now the Herron School of Art and Design).

After graduating from the Herron, Greg began his career as a design intern at Channel 4 WTTV. He left WTTV to pursue his career with Public Relations firm Borshoff (Erik Johnson, Rotarian). After working for several other firms and on his own, Greg recognized the importance and the future of web design and in 1999 began his journey learning this craft. Through self-motivation and self-education, he grew his knowledge and talent in web design and took his abilities with a leap of faith to become a business owner, thus, the birth of Greg Albright Design was realized in 2005.

As a sole proprietor, Greg’s days begin in the early morning hours and often go late into the night. Hard work has never been a stranger to Greg. He began working in the restaurant business on his fourteenth birthday working his way through the kitchen to head cook and left at age 20. He carried the tradition of hard work to his professional career as a designer. When asked of his greatest accomplishment, he responded with “I am providing a product parallel in excellence and service to larger, full size firms.” And his greatest challenge as sole proprietor, he says “getting the message out.”

Along with his successful web and graphic design company, Greg donates numerous hours a week to our Rotary Club. When you log onto, www.indyrotary.org you will witness first hand Greg’s talent for art, design and detail. His current Rotary Club project has been developing our new website. Greg is also Chair of our Communications Committee, and is a member of the IT, Social and Softball committees. In June, he managed the Rotary softball team to a three-peat victory over Kiwanis!

After sitting down with Greg, it became apparent to me, that the Rotary Club of Indianapolis would not be the same without him. We are fortunate to have in our club members like Greg who adopt service above self as a personal core value. I asked Greg, “What are the benefits he sees as a Rotarian?” He replied, “Friendships and community outreach.” He also added he would like to see growth in member-to-member networking and business relationships. When you see Greg next time at Rotary, shake his hand and take a moment to thank him for his countless volunteer hours developing a first-rate, awesome website, club branding and for sharing his multiple talents and gifts so willingly throughout the club.

When Greg finds time, he enjoys cooking and golf. Greg is also an avid runner. He recently finished his 6th marathon. He also enjoys his rescued stray dog, Snoopy (pictured). And spends lots of time with his niece, Katie, nephew, Joseph, sister Donna and mother JoAnn.
