Adam King

Portfolio

Hi! My name's Adam and I’m a Creative Director based near Nashville, TN. I have 18+ years of experience leading multidisciplinary creative teams for global brands including PayPal, Venmo, LinkedIn, Google, and Allstate.

My super-powers are building scalable design systems, leading high-performing creative organizations, and translating business objectives into innovative digital experiences across web, email, social, video, and emerging platforms.

I'm deeply immersed in the ever-evolving landscape of AI tools (including Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, Midjourney, Figma Make, and more) to accelerate my journey across creative strategy, digital production, team leadership and efficiency, and effective creative delivery.
