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).
