Josh Ashton

Design Director working at the intersection of digital product and brand. 18 years of experience crafting campaigns, content and experiences for a variety of clients across a multitude of industries. I believe in a fluid process, small teams and hands-on creative leadership with an emphasis on craft. Currently working remotely from Virginia, where I live with an attractive female human and two small male humans we made together. In my spare time you can find me riding bikes down mountains.
