A Dash of Quirk and a Pinch of Humor: Meet Justin Gammon.

I’m a seasoned art director and designer who thrives on pushing boundaries, exploring new avenues, and leaving a lasting impact through creative work. With over two decades of experience in advertising and a solid foundation in traditional design, I seamlessly blend custom illustration, short-form animation, and a sprinkle of humor to breathe life into your projects. If you’re ready to embark on a captivating journey to elevate your brand and captivate your audience, let’s collaborate and make magic happen!

In my earlier years, I focused on branding, visual identity work, and traditional marketing and advertising. I dabbled in both print and web design, and my expertise even extended to UI/UX design for websites, apps, and software. However, around ten years ago, I stumbled upon an exciting new realm—humorous and topical social media content and content marketing for brands. Since then, I’ve been delving into creating custom illustrations, developing short-form animated content, and crafting cleverly photoshopped gags for social posts. This unique approach to advertising has allowed me to bring brands to life in captivating ways, injecting humor and creativity into their online presence.

Over the past few years, my work has evolved further, focusing on producing engaging content while partnering with brands and ad agencies. I’ve enjoyed creating animated content for e-cards, developing captivating social campaigns, and even exploring the realm of animated NFTs. I thrive on the dynamic and immediate nature of this non-traditional approach to marketing, embracing its ability to bring a touch of humor and intrigue to audiences.

Drawing from my diverse experience, I pride myself on being a versatile tool for agencies and clients. I apply my expertise to deliver compelling visual solutions that drive results. Along the way, I’ve been honored to receive recognition through awards such as AVA Digital Awards, Rebrand 100 Global Awards, Shorty Awards, One Show Merit Award, and Addy Awards.

I am passionate about pushing boundaries, exploring new avenues, and making a lasting impact through my creative work. If you’re seeking a designer who can seamlessly blend custom illustration, short-form animation, and a sprinkle of humor into your projects, I’d be thrilled to collaborate with you!
