Chad Udell

Chad works at The Iona Group, a media consulting firm near Peoria, IL. He creates and manages web and interactive projects and the client relationships that go along with them. He develops web presences and interactive applications for Caterpillar, Tyson Foods, Rawlings, Worth Sports, Maui Jim Sunglasses and Shure Inc. along with building experiences for museums like the Museum of Science and Industry, The Field Museum, Adler Planetarium, Shedd Aquarium. In his part time he teaches at Bradley University, focusing on standards based web design. Many of his students have gone on to become successful designers or developers in their own right and he’s proud to have been part of their success.

Prior to joining Iona, he was a freelancer. He created websites, games and experiences for clients like Big Idea’s Veggie Tales, Lego, Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon, independent musicians and Chicago area businesses. Back in the day, he worked for RollingStone and EMusic as a web designer, and abused Flash 4 daily.

Personally, he enjoys spending time with his lovely wife and two awesome kids. He likes playing video games, brewing beer and watching football. He’ll never turn down the offer to go have a nice Pale Ale or Cafe Americano at a local establishment.
