Hello, Hello, Hello. I am a Creative Director, Mentor, and Designer, dedicated to making a positive impact through authentic and intuitive visual solutions for culture and mission-oriented brands, people and organizations.
Bio
As a multidisciplinary creative with a robust background in graphic design, I have spent the last 20 years evolving brands, collaborating with talented people, and building intuitive digital products & comprehensive experiences. As a player-coach Creative Director and Design Lead, I specialize in raising the design caliber for a variety of media, including digital, motion, print and environmental, ensuring every touchpoint meets a superior standard of visual and functional excellence.
I have also had the privilege and joy of leading highly creative teams for the last 12 years, mentoring designers while also being a hands-on contributor. I enjoy solving problems with cross-functional partners, and fostering a design approach that is human-centered, iterative, empathetic, and accessible. My design work has received recognition from Apple, Facebook, Netty Awards, AIGA, Graphic Design USA, and Awwwards.
Additionally, I love the Arts, Music and Culture, and lead a double life as a painter and fine artist. You can view my surreal and introspective work here: jawshsmyth.art
