We provide end-to-end creative leadership — from strategic positioning through final execution — using AI to explore more ideas in a week than most teams explore in a quarter.
Here's what usually happens: you get a vague brief, wait weeks, and receive concepts that miss the mark. Then it's back to square one with feedback like "make it pop" because you don't have the words for what's wrong.
That's not creative direction. That's creative roulette.
Real creative direction means clear communication at every step. We show you hundreds of directions early — so you can point to what resonates. No surprises at the finish line. Just strategic vision translated into visual decisions you understand and approve.
You get someone who leads every decision — and work that matches what you actually wanted.
"Finally — creative work you love,
from a process you actually understand."
Creative direction isn't one thing — it's the strategic thread that connects every visual decision. Here's the full scope of what we lead.
Brand positioning, messaging hierarchy, audience targeting, channel strategy. The strategic foundation that makes creative work actually work. Not just "make it pretty" — make it perform.
STRATEGY • POSITIONING • MESSAGINGVisual style definition, mood development, color direction, composition rules. We create the visual vocabulary that makes your brand instantly recognizable across every touchpoint.
VISUAL STYLE • MOOD • COLORNot Pinterest screenshots glued together. AI-generated mood boards with hundreds of directional explorations, organized by strategic rationale. You see the vision before we build it.
CONCEPT • DIRECTION • EXPLORATIONWebsite design direction, UI patterns, interaction design, responsive strategy. We direct digital experiences that feel intentional at every breakpoint and interaction.
WEB • UI • INTERACTIONSocial media visual strategy, content templates, format-specific creative. Instagram carousels that scroll-stop. TikTok openers that hook in 0.5 seconds. LinkedIn posts that don't look like everyone else's.
SOCIAL • CONTENT • TEMPLATESProduct packaging direction, print materials, environmental design. Physical touchpoints directed with the same strategic rigor as digital — because your brand exists in the real world too.
PACKAGING • PRINT • PHYSICALVideo creative direction, motion graphics style, animation language. We direct cinematic content from concept through post — and we use AI to produce it too. See our AI Cinema service.
VIDEO • MOTION • CINEMAInvestor pitch decks, sales presentations, keynote designs. Visuals that tell your story with clarity and impact. Because a $10M funding round shouldn't be presented on default PowerPoint templates.
DECKS • PRESENTATIONS • KEYNOTEEvent branding, booth design, environmental graphics, wayfinding. The physical manifestation of your creative direction — from conference stages to retail spaces.
EVENTS • SPACES • ENVIRONMENTALTwo engagement models. Choose what fits your needs — or combine them.
You have a product launch, campaign, rebrand, or event. We provide end-to-end creative direction from strategy through execution.
Timeline: 1–6 weeks depending on scope
Includes: Strategy deck, mood boards, art direction, design execution, revisions, final production files
Best for: Launches, campaigns, one-time creative needs
Your brand needs consistent creative direction but can't justify a full-time CD. We become your external creative director — leading visual decisions, reviewing work, directing your team.
Timeline: Monthly engagement, minimum 3 months
Includes: Weekly creative reviews, on-demand direction, strategic guidance, team mentorship
Best for: Growing brands, teams without a CD, ongoing creative needs
Before we design anything, we immerse in your market. Competitor analysis, audience research, trend mapping, brand audit. We study what works in your industry — and what everyone else is doing so we can deliberately do something different.
We define the creative strategy: positioning, messaging pillars, visual direction, tone of voice. Everything is grounded in business objectives. "Make it look cool" isn't a strategy. "Position the brand as the premium AI-native alternative in a market of legacy agencies" — that's a strategy.
This is our unfair advantage. AI explores hundreds of visual directions — layouts, palettes, typography systems, photographic styles — in the time most teams explore a handful. We curate, combine, and refine the strongest directions with human judgment.
We don't hand you a mood board and wish you luck. We direct through execution — producing final assets, reviewing implementations, ensuring every deliverable matches the creative vision. Your project launches exactly as directed.
You're building a great product but your visual presence looks like a developer designed it (because one did). You need creative leadership that elevates everything — from your website to your pitch deck to your product UI.
Your designers are talented but directionless. They need a creative vision to rally around — someone who sets the bar, defines the style, and ensures everything that ships is excellent and consistent.
New product, new market, new campaign. You need creative strategy and execution for a specific initiative — fast, focused, and aligned with your broader brand while pushing into new territory.
Canva templates got you to $1M ARR. They won't get you to $10M. You need creative direction that matches where your business is going — not where it started. Professional presence for a professional brand.
Human strategic vision + AI-powered execution. A creative director defines the strategy and quality standards. AI tools accelerate exploration — generating hundreds of visual concepts where humans generate a handful. The result: better work, faster, at lower cost.
A freelance CD brings one brain. We bring one brain directing AI systems that explore 500+ directions simultaneously. Same strategic depth, exponentially more creative breadth. Plus our process is battle-tested across dozens of projects.
Brand campaigns, product launches, social strategies, website redesigns, visual identities, video productions, event branding, packaging, pitch decks — any project that needs creative leadership and visual strategy.
Both. We provide direction from strategy through final assets. We don't hand you a mood board and walk away. We direct the entire process and deliver production-ready work.
Yes — and we love it. We can serve as your external creative director, working with your designers, developers, and marketers. We adapt to your tools, workflows, and communication style.
Single campaign: 1–3 weeks. Complex multi-channel projects: 3–6 weeks. Ongoing direction: monthly retainer with minimum 3-month commitment. We scope every project individually.
Tell us about your project. We'll show you what strategic creative leadership looks like — with AI-powered exploration your current agency can't match.
