Tim Flanner has been in graphic design for more than 20 years. His first job in the field of design was laying out the catalog for Bass Pro Shops. Tim has been with Zimmer Communications for 16 years, where he has been part of many changes and different directions. In 2018, he became the art director at Inside Columbia after the publication joined the Zimmer family. As art director, Tim oversees the visual concepts of Inside Columbia, working closely with the photo editor and graphic designer to ensure each issue of the magazine looks beautiful, from editorial content to advertising. Tim received his fine arts degree in illustration/graphic design from Missouri State University. Outside of work, Tim is a passionate fisherman who loves being outdoors. When he’s not behind a computer screen, he’s usually in his boat on a river somewhere. Recently, Tim has found a way to combine his two great passions by airbrushing his own custom fishing lines.
