Welcome to the intersection of creativity and strategy. 

For the last two decades, I’ve been behind the lens, the pen, and the strategy that has propelled many brands forward. I’m Ian Courtright, your partner in both the creative and strategic aspects of your brand’s development.

As a kid, I never went anywhere without my film camera in hand. Then, when I began translating my drawing skills into digital designs on our family’s first computer, it was clear that a lifelong passion for visual storytelling was emerging. 

Later, after living in many different states, moving to California was a turning point in my career. There, I completely immersed myself in creating visual media through photo and design. It’s also where I began exploring video production, working every on-set job I could find to absorb as much industry knowledge as I could.

Now, as a freelance Creative Director, I’m leveraging twenty years of diverse experiences to offer more than just incredible visuals—I provide strategic solutions that align with your brand’s vision and goals. My approach is not just about creating; it’s about creating with purpose. Strategy and clear intentions, paired with high-quality visuals, will produce results every time. 

My journey is a testament to my commitment to not only create amazing visuals, but to build better, more comprehensive marketing and content strategies.
