Creative leader, designer & technologist

Patrick J. Hills.

I am a storyteller who finds tremendous satisfaction in making things. As a seasoned creative and design leader with deep for-profit, non-profit, and agency experience, I design brands that resonate, advertising that grabs attention, and content that earns its place. I'm passionate about helping organizations tell their stories and solve problems in ways they haven't yet imagined. I dig into the substance, draw out stakeholder feedback, and use performance metrics to create work that lands in the market.

Stories stretch across mediums, and so does my work. I'm both creative and technical, and each side sharpens the other. My creative solutions grow out of real technical understanding, and the drive to learn new tools comes from pushing creative boundaries. That cycle lets me work across many mediums (videography, social, web, and print), speak a common language with specialists, and guide teams to build what matters.

I lead by getting into the work with my team, pushing us to innovate and take risks without losing sight of the strategic goal. Working at startups, I learned there's no better feeling than grinding alongside brilliant people who wear every hat: moving pixels, setting up stages, packing up gear after the wrap. And when the team makes something genuinely original and engaging, there's no better reward than sharing a drink and reveling in what we pulled off.
