Creative Director
David James Hwang
I’m a Creative Director who thrives on both sides of the process — hands-on craft and high-level team leadership, across every medium.

Big ideas. Clean execution. No drama.
I’m a Creative Director with a career built on turning complex challenges into work that’s both beautiful and effective — across broadcast, digital, UX, print, and brand.
I lead with craft and follow through with strategy. Whether I’m directing a shoot, guiding a team, or rethinking a user experience, I bring clarity, obsession with quality, and a track record of delivering results that move the needle.
My clients have included ESPN, Nike, HBO, Disney, ABC, NBC, FOX, McDonald’s, Mattel, Toyota, and many others. My work has been recognized by AIGA, Communication Arts, the Type Directors Club, AICP, and the Academy of Arts and Sciences.
I’m equally fluent with designers and executives, comfortable under pressure, and genuinely excited by what AI is making possible in creative work.
I’m a strong communicator, a decent artist, a fair mountain biker, and an embarrassingly bad guitar player.
