“Ed is a modern day inventor, designer, and thinker with equally rare qualities of integrity and hard work.”
Who am I?
My name is Ed.
I am a recovered Agency Executive and practicing Design Thinker.
And I am Illig.
I network with expert folks to forge an Illig team suited to your business problem.
I am an Agency Fella.
As Executive Creative Director of the largest privately held agency on the globe we became the first ever digital and data-driven agency to be named on the annual Top 10 AdAge Agencies to Watch creative list introducing revenue-generating audience-centered design and engagement approaches to our clients.
I am a Product Guy.
Benefit from Illig design thinking. I helped redefine, reimagine, redesign, re-market, re-UX and relaunch a member engagement platform. Transforming it from a transactional rewards and loyalty tool into an industry-leading, behavior-changing, profit-inducing dynamo for premiere banks and healthcare plans.
I am a Leading Man.
I empathize with your business and leadership challenges. I owned a strategic design and interactive firm for well over a decade – ranked #1 regionally for years running – delivering international design awards and all the revenue and results that came along with it to our clients.
I am a Multi-Dimensional Dude.
I’ve led, pitched, packaged, and branded products, services, and environments for some of the biggest and most interesting brands in the world – rolling up my creative sleeves to meld digital experiences, spaces, and objects into engaging journeys for businesses’s ideal customers, partners, and consumers alike.
And so, I am a designer.
And a serial storyteller looking to strategically move your prospects, donors, customers, and constituents — people — to action (see Illig | Year One video below).

“Beautiful, culturally relevant, shareable ... utilizing their creative strategies, brand acumen and tactical implementations we realized a 500% increase among one key constituent base alone over a 36 month period.”
