Derek Neal

Creative Director.
Art Director.
Designer.

Creating brands, campaigns and digital experiences, from strategy and concept through production and delivery.

Creative Partner. Problem Solver. Maker.

For more than 25 years, I've helped agencies, brands, startups and non-profit organizations transform ideas into meaningful experiences that connect with people and drive results.

I combine strategic creative leadership with hands-on execution, helping organizations move seamlessly from concept to completion. Unlike many creative leaders, I remain actively involved in the work itself. I continue to concept, design, animate, edit, prototype and produce across virtually every medium, helping ensure creative quality remains consistent throughout the process.

What I do:

Creative Direction

Campaign development, creative leadership and strategic thinking.

Art Direction

Brand development, advertising and visual storytelling.

Design

Brands, campaigns, websites, presentations and marketing communications.

Motion & Video

Motion graphics, animation, video editing and content creation.

Production

Print, packaging, environmental graphics, signage and production-ready files.

Digital Experiences

Website design, UX/UI and emerging technologies.

Strategy meets execution

Many creative professionals specialize in either leadership or execution. My experience has allowed me to develop both. Whether you need a Creative Director to help shape an idea, an Art Director to elevate a campaign, or a designer to bring it to life, I can seamlessly integrate with your team and help move projects forward.
