Erick Holmquist
CREATIVE DIRECTOR
I’m a New York–based Creative Director with experience leading brand, campaign, and platform work across agencies and teams. I focus on defining creative direction, aligning strategy with visual craft, and guiding multidisciplinary teams from early concept through execution.
My background spans brand systems, integrated campaigns, and social-first initiatives, where I lead teams to deliver work that balances cultural relevance and business objectives. Collaboration, point of view, and clarity guide my approach, helping teams move confidently through each stage of the creative process.
