I'm Ansel. — a Cleveland-born, Atlanta-raised Creative Director and Art Director with a sharp eye for observation and a passion for culture. My career has been defined by solving business problems with creativity. My work solves business problems by merging insight with culture and creativity; crafting campaigns that speak to audiences, not at them.

I draw from a broad cultural lens to connect brands with the real people they’re trying to reach; intentional about building work that reflects the world my audience lives in, resonating authentically with diverse communities.

From the tech-driven energy of Seattle to the grit of Detroit, the pulse of LA to the heart of Atlanta, I’ve collaborated with brilliant minds on some of the world’s most iconic brands. I've led retail initiatives for Google, designed experiential events for Lamborghini, creating and concepting social content with Miss America, and even trading stories with Deion Sanders on an Aflac shoot (his were way more interesting.

As both a staff and freelance creative, I’ve brought ideas to life at agencies like Doner, Saatchi & Saatchi, Cashmere, Translation, and Dagger. Across every project, I infuse humanity into the work — because when you truly understand how people move through the world, you can make creative work they want to see.

Thanks for taking a look at my work. Let me know how I can help with your next creative endeavor. -AW
