Creative & Design

As a Creative Director / senior designer with 24+ years of experience, I am passionate about building brands that resonate with people and drive business growth. I specialize in developing comprehensive branding strategies and visually compelling experiences. Key Achievements: • Developed and designed artwork for high-profile clients, including Mavic, Monster Energy Drink, the Boston Bruins, and Hoonigan Racing.• Designed original wheels showcased in Gymkhana Ten (43 million views) and Amazon Prime’s Gymkhana Files (episode 4), featured as the official thumbnail for Gymkhana Ten.• Successfully negotiated and secured a $500,000 contract with Monster Energy Drink for the annual design and painting of 1,000 branded helmets.• Spearheaded the creation of production-ready digital and print assets, including websites, trade show booths, brochures, presentations, investor decks, and business cards for a catalog of clients.• Led North American market creative direction for Ariel North America and Ginetta North America, achieving a 50% email marketing open rate and increased website traffic.• Achieved a $2.5 million sales increase within the first quarter by penetrating an untapped B2B market for a pharmaceutical cleanroom company. Outside of my professional life, I am deeply passionate about the outdoors, mountain biking and motorsports. I’ve been a die-hard hockey goalie from an early age and enjoy taking leadership roles in various aspects of my life. My enthusiasm for design extends to painting helmets and goalie masks, a hobby I started at a young age and continue to enjoy. I get excited about opportunities where I can lead creative teams, develop comprehensive branding strategies, and create visually compelling experiences that drive engagement and business growth. I love connecting with new people. You can reach me at luke@bigtroublecreative.com.
