Ian McCarthy
Problem Solver and Creative

Welcome, I'm Ian!
A problem-solver. A creative thinker. A strategist passionate about building brands that connect with people. For me, marketing and branding are all about building a connection with people so that they can see the heart and passion of a brand. With a background in graphic design and marketing, I love blending strategy and creativity to tell stories that will leave a lasting impression.
I thrive in problem solving situations, and will often stick around after a three hour lab just to get to the bottom of an issue. My stomach may be screaming for something to eat, but the challenge of uncovering a solution keeps me hard at work until something clicks. I value bringing this same determination to help others; whether it’s supporting a teammate, solving a problem, or working on a project, I strive to put my best foot forward.
Creating impactful work that resonates deeply with others is what fuels me. I strive to build meaningful connections through innovative and creative solutions.
Flavor Profile
What I bring to the table
Problem-solver by nature
-
I like when things don’t work right away, it gives me something to figure out. I don’t need to have the answer upfront, but I will stick with it until something clicks.
Strategically creative
-
I’m all for making things look good, but if there’s no 'why' behind it, it starts to feel pointless.
Team-first, always
-
I take pride in being dependable. Whether it’s helping someone troubleshoot or just picking up the slack, I’m always down to get stuff done together.
Details matter
-
As a Graphic Communications major, I tend to notice the small things. Whether it’s the spacing on a label or how something feels in your hand, I care about the stuff that quietly makes everything work better.
Fuel: caffeine, snacks, and a background playlist
-
There’s usually something crunchy on my desk and too many tabs open on my screen. Regardless, things get done.
