About Justin Thomas Kay
I have 20+ years of experience in communication design, creative direction and brand direction and strategy — specializing in identities and experiences, marketing and editorial/publishing. With a foundation in the editorial approach, my aspiration is to create simple, honest, and impactful work with soul and purpose rooted in cultural significance - born from the communities that will interact with the work that I contribute to.My work is an ongoing conversation with art, fashion, music and broader global culture that has applications across all media - both analog and digital.
