Tim Read lives in Ames, Iowa with his wife and four kids. Tim began his career in high school drawing cartoons for his town newspaper. while in college he supported himself holding various retail positions and drawing caricatures on the weekends at festivals and events.

After college Tim moved to Chicago to become a staff illustrator and designer for a pull-tab gaming company.

During his time in Chicago Tim honed his skills as a vector illustrator. While he still enjoyed creating freehand illustration he fell in love with vector art because of its clean finish and ability to produce images more quickly.

In 2003 he and his wife moved back to Iowa where he landed a graphic design position at a national mortgage company and quickly realized the restrictions of corporate brand design was slowing his creativity and in 2007 decided to jump ship and start 5 Fingers Creative, a design and illustration studio of his own.
