Taking long hikes with my dog, Argos
I’m Andy Atchison — a creative director, designer, photographer and copywriter with over 15 years of experience building brands, shaping visual identities, and leading creative teams.
I believe great design isn’t just about visuals, it’s about crafting stories, building connection, and delivering purpose-driven creative that moves people. My work spans brand identity, packaging, product photography, lifestyle campaigns, copywriting, and digital content, always grounded in intentionality, authenticity, and a deep understanding of audience and context.
Over the years, I’ve developed a broad creative skill set: from conceptual direction and art direction to hands-on photography, retouching, copywriting, graphic design, and content strategy. This range, combined with a strategic, leadership-driven mindset allows me to step in wherever a brand needs vision, clarity, or creative oversight.
What defines me as a creative partner and leader is my observant nature, curiosity, and relentless hunger to evolve. I stay on top of visual trends, consumer behavior, and emerging creative tools, including AI-driven workflows, adapting and pushing boundaries so every project benefits from fresh perspective and thoughtful execution.
Outside of my professional life, I draw inspiration from travel, architecture, nature, and everyday adventures with my dog Argos. Staying curious, grounded, and connected to real life directly fuels my creative instincts, keeping my work honest, alive, and relevant.
If you’re seeking a creative leader who can shape vision, refine brand identity, craft compelling messaging, and execute with intention and craft, I’d love to connect.
