Hi, my name is Paul. I’m a creative director and designer located in Chicago (and I’m not nearly as pretentious as this photo makes me look). My unique background includes both ad agency and editorial experience and being trained in studio art I’m comfortable working on projects in any medium shoud the occasion arise.
One of the things I love most about creative work is being able to produce with other people something that would be difficult or impossible to make alone. I’ve art directed magazine covers, outdoor and print ads, websites, videos, and more but couldn’t have made most of it without the help of talented writers, photographers, printers, illustrators, developers, makeup artists, and tons of other people. (Including clients with the money.)
If you’re looking to make something bigger than the both of us, get in touch. Let’s make this happen.
