About Josh McGuckin

Creative solutions to complicated problems are what get me out of bed in the morning. I’m a problem solver at heart and a connector by nature, known for bringing clarity to ambiguity and aligning diverse teams around a shared path forward.I am constantly looking for ways to challenge conventional thought and that means that my day is filled with new experiences and opportunities to expand my perspective. I take on projects of any size and reach into my diverse experiences to develop unique solutions. My experience has allowed me the opportunity to work with people and companies from around the world to develop design, branding, products and business solutions. I don’t sit idle. When I see friction, whether in data, process, or alignment, I ask questions, connect perspectives, and help teams see the full system so better decisions can be made end-to-end.I’m motivated by curiosity, collaboration, and building foundations that enable organizations to scale.
