Ian Fohrman
Ian Fohrman has been with The Public Works since the year of the company’s inception. He joined Mike and Frank as the 3rd member of the team and has been working on a vast array of projects since. In the early days, Mike, Frank, and Ian would do everything from welding to producing photoshoots. Ian worked alongside Mike to manage Helly Hansen’s Global Snow Sports Marketing which included everything from media buying to graphic design and contract negotiations with athletes.
Ian still does a large range of tasks but most of his energy is focused on brand building, photography, and managing The Public Works multimedia department. He also works as a writer and photographer for a number of outdoor publications as well as being a furniture builder, chicken owner, hunter, and cyclist.

Executive Producer, Powder Productions at TEN: The Enthusiast Network
As a regular correspondent to Powder, as both a writer and photographer, Ian can be relied upon to conceive stories that have an authentic angle, with multimedia options. Certainly, with his background, he looks at an opportunity through multiple lenses. He's resourceful, creative, positive, inquisitive, and unafraid to share his opinion in a pragmatic manner to make the product something that all parties are proud of. In short, he works hard and he cares about having something with his name attributed to it. I endorse Ian for all kinds of work.
Creative Director | Founder at Endless Media
Ian was a director on a shoot with Ram trucks that we shot in Colorado last year. He and his team stood out because of their willingness to collaborate, openness to decision making, and commitment to getting the job done right. During the shoot, we faced challenging circumstances that would shake any production crew to their core. Ian and the team at Public Works stepped up and managed the situation in a professional and respectful manner that added to maintaining the quality of production and the respect of the team. I would recommend working with Ian on any production without hesitation.
Art Director, Brand Designer
Ian Fohrman embodies Grace and Grit in daily life. He balances good humor, energy, and poise with intensity, focus, and determination. I am extremely grateful for Ian’s ability to rise early, work hard, and stay late in an effort of delivering a quality product (which he has done, time and time again). I appreciate Ian’s thoughtfulness, kindness, and fortitude. He is timely, efficient, and resourceful. He is patient, careful, and tough.
Athlete Marketing Manager at Red Bull North America
Ian is an absolute professional that can really connect with his subjects. Every athlete I have had Ian work with has come away pleased and telling stories of all his adventures. I highly recommend working with Ian.
