ROCK JACKSON CREATIVE DIRECTOR

Expertise

 

What sets me apart as a Creative Director is my ability to seamlessly integrate design, illustration, and animation, while consistently finding innovative solutions.

 

At the core of my work as a Creative Director is branding, where I excel in both developing new brands and evolving established ones. I embrace the “form follows function” philosophy, using it as a clear framework to position brands for success in today’s rapidly changing landscape.

Branding

I’ve helped companies align their brand identity with both creative and data-driven business needs, enabling them to deliver and manage configurable solutions through integrated brand ecosystems.

UX/UI 

Led prototyping efforts, conducted client interviews, and managed cross-functional teams to develop a device-agnostic solution that is transforming how elite teams plan missions globally.

Animation

With over 15 years of experience in animation and visual storytelling, I’ve directed and produced a diverse array of projects—from cutting-edge medical infomercials to dynamic music videos—empowering clients to achieve their goals through the transformative power of animation.

Illustration

I specialize in transforming ideas into visual masterpieces. From concept to final frame, I guide the client’s vision through every stage of production, maintaining a clear, cohesive direction that elevates the narrative.
