About Jeremy

Design Lead at Stay Creative

As a Creative Director and Designer I love building happy teams & fan-driven brands, communities, & products to get people to feel and do something.

For the last ten plus years, I've enabled fandom for the world's largest online communities (The NBA, Yelp, GitHub, HubSpot, Cartoon Network, & Sprite).

Now, as an independent design consultant, I'm currently fast-tracking early-stage companies, setting brand and product foundations for late-stage ones, getting big companies to act like startups, and building and leading, growing high-performing teams for a variety of clients & making some new friends along the way.

After hours, you can find me far from screens & data plans, hitchin' my airstream, boondocking in the outdoors, running in the woods, looking up & pretending to be a film photographer with my son, girlfriend & dog Miro.

In a prior life, I had fun racing motocross, being an amateur skateboarder, running a gallery in NOLA's French Quarter that fueled climate-change action, & going on a backpacking odyssey in my late thirties for seven months through NZ'd & Asia to places that were hard to get to and even harder to get out of.
