Joey Gordon

I’m an Executive Design Director with almost twenty years of experience shaping brands, products, and digital experiences alongside both global and independent studios. I started out hands-on, which is how I lead today. I stay involved in the craft of brand, advertising, and development, working directly with teams throughout our journey.

I’m an Executive Design Director with almost twenty years of experience shaping brands, products, and digital experiences alongside both global and independent studios. I started out hands-on, which is how I lead today. I stay involved in the craft of brand, advertising, and development, working directly with teams throughout our journey.

My work brings together strategy, design, and execution. I’ve led brand builds, digital platforms, rebrands, and product experiences for global accounts and fast-moving businesses in the UK, USA, EMEA, and APAC. My experience includes brand identity, advertising, digital and web, product, motion, and campaign. I see everything as part of a single, connected system that helps brands stand out in the real world.

With AI and generative tools, good judgment is absolutely key. When used well, these tools expand what’s possible and help teams move faster. On the flip side, if used poorly, they can harm creativity and lead to slop - you know the kind. I use these tools in my workflow as ways to explore, test, and speed up work, always keeping human taste and curation at the center of every decision.

I believe in calm, clear thinking and high standards - without the ego. Quality is about people raising the bar while helping others raise theirs. I build senior teams, mentor designers, and stay close to the work when it matters, to make sure the idea stays strong, and the details hold up from concept to build.

I work closely with founders, executives, and product leaders, taking time to understand their world before offering solutions. Business challenges become clear design frameworks and experiences that people can understand. I’m comfortable working at the board level, explaining these design decisions, trade-offs, and impact in plain language.

I’m a strategic designer, a builder, and a leader who stays on the craft so I can keep proud, long after it ships.
