Neville Page

Designer

As with many young boys in the late 70’s, “Star Wars” had such a
profound impact that it inspired Neville to pursue the field of
entertainment. He wanted to be in the sci-fi movies and at the time he
did not even know that design existed. At 17, Neville packed up the
car and drove cross-country to Hollywood to pursue the infamous
dream.

During the time he was putting together his art portfolio, to make ends
meet Neville performed at the Ice House in Pasadena and the
Improv in Hollywood as a stand-up comedian. However, once at Art
Center College of Design, he realized his true calling. Although he
did not understand completely what it was that he was doing, it felt
100% right. So “right,” in fact, that he graduated with honors in 1990
and immediately started a design consultancy with his roommate,
who would eventually become his best friend and studio partner,
Scott Robertson.

Together he and Scott developed a wide range of products from
durable medical goods to action figures. Eventually, they found
themselves teaching at the Art Center campus in Switzerland until its
unfortunate demise in 1996. Upon returning to Los Angeles, Neville
resumed teaching at Art Center and took on the position as
Assistant Chair of Product Design. Additionally, he teaches at the Otis
College of Art and Design and also at The GnomonSchool of Visual
Effects. Since Neville returned from Switzerland his growing client
list includes: Jakks Pacific Toys , BMW subsidiary Designworks/USA,
Mattel Toys, Nike, Rock Shox, Universal Studios’ “Men in Black”-The
Ride, 20th Century-Fox, Fiat; and the feature films “Minority Report,”
“Planet of the Apes”, “X-Men 2 & 3”, “The Lion The Witch and The
Wardrobe”, “Superman”, James Cameron’s “Avatar”, JJ Abram’s
“Cloverfield”, Zach Snyder’s “The Watchmen”, Louis Leterrier’s
“The Hulk”, and JJ Abram’s “Star Trek 11”. Most recently, Neville
finisjed work on Tron Legacy as a costume designer/illustrator.

In addition to his teaching career, Neville is currently involved as a
design consultant for the entertainment, toy, and automotive
industries; and is developing his own line of educational art products.
