Meet Darren Fox

Darren Fox started his career in visual communication while still in high school working as a freelance designer. Since 2000, Darren has held various jobs in the design industry which have developed and honed his skills. Darren is a repeat guest speaker at Waubonsee Community College covering the topic of web design & internet marketing and has been featured in several local periodicals including the Chicago Sun-Times, The Beacon, Oswego Ledger, and Patch.

It has been a life-long dream of Darren’s to start a web design company of his own. In July 2009, that dream became a reality when Idea Marketing Group was started with an office in Downtown Chicago's West Loop on Van Buren Street. In 2011, Idea relocated to a new office space in Oswego, IL. Idea is a small design agency with strategic thinking and award-winning creativity. Honors received include those awarded by the American Design Awards—an international design competition with agencies competing worldwide—and Design Firms.

When not in front of a computer all day, you can usually find Darren outside. Outdoor activities usually include mountain biking, hiking, and kayaking. A creative hobby of Darren’s is digital photography, yet his skills were cultivated in a dark room with black and white 35mm film. Darren currently resides in Yorkville, IL with his wife Erin who he met while in high school. Yorkville is a community located in the Western Suburbs of Chicago, IL.
