Hola!
Location | NYC, NY
Hi, I'm Armando Gian, a New York-based Art Director and Designer with a passion for blending storytelling, strategy, and style. With over a decade of experience in marketing and advertising, I’ve worked across a wide range of brands and industries, from fashion to tech, helping bring ideas to life through thoughtful, elevated design.
My work lives at the intersection of creativity and clarity. Whether I'm building out multi-channel campaigns, leading a design team, or crafting a new brand identity, I’m all about making things look great and work hard. I’ve led projects spanning digital, packaging, experiential, and print with an eye for detail and a strong point of view shaped by my love of fashion, art, and architecture.
