Embarking on a Creative Quest: Hunter Wicked's Story
Hey there! I’m Hunter Wicked, representing the sunny CA and proudly wearing the hats of Branding & Illustrator extraordinaire.
Picture me as a local kid turned visual wizard, raised along California’s central coast – a place where creativity and beach vibes are a way of life. Now, I might not have a magic wand, but I definitely have a passion for steering creativity in the right direction.
My journey began in the coolest way possible – at a local print shop, where ink fumes and design dreams danced together. Fast forward, and I’ve navigated through the worlds of communication and printing technologies, picking up design gems along the way.
Now, beyond the pixels and vector lines, you’ll find me embracing life’s vivid hues. I’m no stranger to splashing paint on canvas, capturing candid moments through the lens, and crafting wood into something magical. And when the weekend rolls in, my trusty Tacoma and I hit the off-road trails, or I’m cruising mountain paths on my trusty two-wheeler.
Speaking of paths, my academic journey led me to the Graphic Information Technology realm at Arizona State University (Class of 2019). And these days, I’m steering the creative ship at Open Flow, a Diamond HubSpot agency.
So, let’s join forces and paint the town, well, every color imaginable. Whether it’s dreaming up branding magic, bringing illustrations to life, or simply finding the artistic pulse in everyday things, together we’ll navigate this creative adventure with a touch of whimsy and a sprinkle of magic.
A visual designer born and raised on the central coast of California. I am a passionate creative that leads by example and taking initiative. I got my start in design at a local print shop and moved on to several design positions in communications and printing technologies.
I enjoy painting, photography and woodworking. I also spend my weekends off-roading my Tacoma or mountain biking. I studied Graphic Information Technology in the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering at Arizona State University (2019). I am the Creative Director of Open Flow, a HubSpot Platinum Agency. I am building out a team and will continue to grow as a creative.
