A native of St. Louis who attended Washington University, Warfield was a standout two-sport college athlete in college, excelling in both football as team captain, and in track as a conference champion sprinter. After receiving his bachelor’s degree in painting, Warfield pivoted to a creative career, taking his first paid post-graduation position with Edison Brothers Stores, Inc., to work as a clothing designer and product developer. His job involved creating garment designs and logos for national fashion chain stores such as Oak Tree and Factory, eventually designing concept retail stores.

Today, Warfield splits time between creative direction projects and returning to his roots as a fine artist. For more than 15 years since LaFace closed, Warfield has contributed retail environment design, book and album packaging (he’s personally responsible for the visual branding of music that’s generated over $700 million in sales), web and interactive media, advertising, furniture, and fashion design to a wide range of major clients and corporations. This includes works delivered for Nike, Sprite, Heineken, Anheuser-Busch, Geffen Records, Sony Latin Entertainment, DreamWorks Records, Sony Music, OutKast Inc., Universal Records, Arista Records, HBO, Virgin Records, Coca-Cola, Adidas, Vibe magazine, automotive giant General Motors, and most recently, branding and design for the City of Atlanta’s Film and Entertainment office.
