About Justin Herman

Creativity is my life. I wake in the morning and fall asleep at night with my mindpositively alight. It’s a direct inheritance from my father: a master storyteller, champion of thedisadvantaged, and community leader. Because of his example, I have always strived to tellmy clients\' stories with superhuman levels of seriousness, urgency, and power. Why?Because I believe a good story can literally change the world.A 20-year veteran of creative design, I can execute in any style, across any platform, at any scale.As a manager, I ensure that my reports know I have a vested interest in their personal and professional growth. I know what keeps creatives happy, passionate, and productive, and never inclined to view their job as such, but rather as a genuine expression of their truest selves.Grandiose as that all may sound, I do this with a sublimated ego. Every single person contributingto the life of a project feels valued, heard, integrated, and excited. I foster an environment of levity,freedom, collaboration, and fun. Here’s what a few of my bosses say-\"Justin\'s design work is phenomenal. Justin contributes tons of ideas. I can trust Justin tomake something better. He’s a natural manager. He inspires people—raising them up and talkingthem down when they’re ready to jump- “His enthusiasm for projects is contagious.People love Justin. I struggle to get someone to say otherwise.”- “He is the heart of this team.\"And here’s what a few of my direct reports say-\"Justin Herman is one of the best creative directors I’ve had the pleasure to work with.He is so inspirational and creative; I love to have brainstorms and bounce ideas backand forth with him. When given the opportunities to work with him, we have producedsome incredible work.\"-\"It\'s great working with you, man. I\'ve learned a lot on many levels from my parallel homie.Being authentic means a lot to me—and you are pretty solid at being authentic:)\"
