Hi, I’m Cory Jensen.
As an Art Director with over 20 years of creative industry experience, I bring a strategic mindset, a passion for problem-solving, and a deep appreciation for simplicity in design.
My career has been driven by a lifelong love for creativity and the logic of well-crafted solutions. Whether it’s building brand identities, leading multidisciplinary teams, or guiding clients from concept through execution, I specialize in crafting thoughtful, effective design strategies that tell authentic stories and deliver measurable value.
I’m known for being highly organized, detail-oriented, and a clear, direct communicator—traits that allow me to manage complex projects with efficiency and calm, even under pressure. I’ve led initiatives across industries like healthcare, tech, and energy, collaborating with everyone from C-suite stakeholders to production teams. My diverse background has shaped me into a versatile creative leader, capable of switching seamlessly between directing, designing, consulting, and advocating for clients’ needs.
My skills span a wide spectrum, including creative direction, brand development, digital and print design, and campaign execution. I’m equally comfortable diving into UI/UX as I am developing motion graphics or shaping cross-platform campaigns. I thrive in collaborative, fast-paced environments, balancing creativity with precision, and always with a sense of humor and humility.
What sets me apart is my ability to see the big picture while obsessing over the details. I ask the right questions, challenge assumptions, and lead with curiosity to help teams and clients uncover the best possible solutions. Whether managing freelancers, mentoring designers, leading a brainstorm or bringing that storm into Creative Cloud, I’m committed to producing design that not only looks great but works well.
When I’m not leading creative projects, you’ll find me exploring the Great Indoors or entertaining in an unreasonably large kitchen. I appreciate a well-crafted beer (ideally not described with words like “mouthfeel”), and I’m always game for sci-fi, fantasy, games, or cringe dad jokes.
If any of this sounds like your vibe, let’s grab a coffee. Bonus points if it comes with a pun.
