Tyler B. Robinson

Tyler B. Robinson is an Emmy winning production designer who moved to Portland, Oregon in 1998 following a prolonged series of adventures ranging from Honorable Service in the US Army, to cross country hitchhiking trips (US & Europe), and seasonal employment to support a snowboarding habit. His time as a reconnaissance squad leader and weapons specialist in the Army honed his natural tendencies toward leadership, communication, and creative problem solving while his vagabond lifestyle developed creativity, an ability to quickly adapt to unpredictable changes, and a genuine desire to avoid normalcy. Once settled in Portland, he used the GI Bill to attended Portland Community College and obtained an internship at Food Chain Films, which sparked the beginning of his design-based film career. Working locally, he cut his teeth on commercials, independent films, and webisodes before being offered the TV pilot for IFC's Portlandia, which he continued to production design through season five.
