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’ve spent my career turning complex challenges into compelling creative work. Whether I’m directing a shoot, leading a team, or rethinking a user experience, I bring clarity, craft, and a little obsession with getting it right.

 

I bring a broad creative and strategic skill set — spanning visual storytelling, UX design, art direction, photography, video editing, animation, copywriting, and product management — with AI integrated throughout my process.

 

I’ve led teams of all sizes and have a knack for bridging the gap between creative vision and business objectives. I’m equally fluent speaking with designers and executives, and I stay grounded under pressure.

 

I’m genuinely excited by emerging technology and make a point of staying ahead of the curve.

 

At the end of the day, I’m focused on results — doing great work and delivering measurable outcomes.

 

My clients have included ESPN, Nike, HBO, Disney, ABC, NBC, FOX, USA Network, NFL Network, McDonald’s, Mattel, Toyota, Hyundai, Mazda, GM, JCPenney, Los Angeles Times, DDB Worldwide, BBDO Worldwide, and many others.

 

My work has been recognized by the AIGA, Communication Arts, the Type Directors Club, the Broadcast Designers Association, AICP, and the Academy of Arts and Sciences.

 

I’m a strong communicator, a decent artist, a fair mountain biker, and an embarrassingly bad guitar player.
