Lucas Williamson

Hello! Ni Hao Xin Chao

I build the product, craft the brand it wears, & capture the media that sells it.

Founders bring the idea; I bring the map. Fifteen years of taking products from sketch through prototyping, tooling, manufacturing, packaging, and the campaign that sells them.

Three ways I show up

  1. Creative Director

    I set the direction and hold it. Fifteen years of design leadership across every surface a product touches.

  2. Designer

    I build the brand and the product. The object, the identity it wears, the box it ships in, carried through tooling to first article.

  3. Teacher

    I teach people to build. Workshops and the classroom: Rose-Hulman, CSEA, MSJ, the Pay It Forward Fund. I give the hours back.

My ask

Looking for a team that builds physical things and wants someone who can go all the way from the drawing to the first sample.

Open to design leadership roles, and to fractional creative direction.
