JONATHAN BURKS
About

From the moment I first opened a box of colored pencils, I was hooked—studying characters, drawing for hours, and getting lost in the details that made images feel alive. That early curiosity evolved into a career built on shaping ideas with intention, first through illustration and fine art, then through digital design, brand systems, and immersive user experiences.
​
Today, I’m a Senior Creative Director with nearly two decades of experience creating work that blends strategic thinking with compelling visual craft. I’ve built brands from the ground up, revitalized existing ones, and helped companies—from emerging startups to established industry leaders—communicate with clarity, consistency, and emotion. My skill set spans traditional art, UX/UI, brand design, integrated campaigns, video, and multimedia storytelling, allowing me to guide a brand’s expression across every touchpoint.
​
What drives me hasn’t changed since those early sketchbook days: I’m not here to make “just another pretty graphic.” I’m here to create work that resonates—design that makes people pause, engage, and feel something.
