Creative Director
I'm Robert-Allen Weeks, a graphic designer based in Woodbridge, VA.My graphic design journey started when I was 11 years old, making thumbnails and other graphics for a YouTube channel I had for fun. It was super exciting learning how to use photo editing programs for myself and I thought, "Hey, can't I do this for others?"Since then, I've gained over 9 years of experience creating assets tailored for social media. I've made thumbnails for creators like Myth and Autumn Rhodes, as well as graphics for esports teams like Paragon and Mazer Gaming.I am no stranger to not only making iconic and appealing graphics that stand out, but working with teams of varying sizes on tight deadlines.

FOR AS LONG AS HANK CAN REMEMBER, HE HAS ALWAYS LOVED TO WRITE, WHETHER IT WAS FOR CONTESTS, OR FOR HIS OWN AMUSEMENT. HIS JOURNEY INTO ESPORTS WRITING, HOWEVER, HASN’T BEEN ANYWHERE NEARLY AS LONG, HAVING JUST STARTED ALL THE WAY BACK IN MAY OF 2021 BY FREELANCING FOR PGSTATS AS AN ARTICLE WRITER. IN JULY OF THE SAME YEAR, HE TOOK ANOTHER BIG LEAP BY JOINING ILLUZION CREATIVE AS THEIR BLOG WRITER, WHICH HE IS STILL A PART OF TODAY. WHILE HE MOSTLY WRITES ABOUT EVERYTHING SMASH RELATED, HANK’S BIGGER GOAL IS TO BECOME FAMILIAR WITH ALL OF THE BIGGEST ESPORTS LIKE LEAGUE OF LEGENDS AND OVERWATCH IN ORDER TO EXPAND HIS SKILLSET AND HORIZON.
