Jordan Francis — Creative and Design Leader
Attitude determines altitude.
Nobody ever drowned in their own sweat.
Unless it's 3am on a Saturday at the agency, eating lukewarm pizza in the 'war room' with discarded ideas, tossing a Hacky Sack with your writer as the only joy left...this might call for a new perspective.
Agencies get a bad rep, but I cherish nights like these. They shaped my work ethic, teaching me to work smarter and push past mediocre. They taught me to respect everyone, know when to fight for my ideas, manage teams, mentor creatives, and master every medium from web to broadcast to social.
These years shaped me; here are some ideas that endured:
TIMELINE
2008-2018
Hello
I'm Jordan, a Creative and Design Leader based in San Francisco, bridging the worlds between marketing a product and building it. I spent the first decade of my career at ad agencies, impacting brands like Porsche, The North Face, and Trunk Club. Known for pushing the possibilities on every project, I have a strong foundation in design, strategy, and a conceptual mindset.
From working on the launch team at Apple to serving as Creative Director at Enlitic, a leading clinical AI start-up, I've embraced product development. At Enlitic, I helped build our product, team and office, advancing medical diagnostics by collaborating with radiologists, data scientists, and engineers.
As the inaugural Head of Design & Creative at Sui.io, I crafted a top-tier brand identity and assembled a global team of designers, creatives, and vendors. I established rigorous design standards and streamlined creative processes, ensuring consistency and excellence across all platforms. My leadership was pivotal in positioning Sui as the leading layer 1 blockchain in the industry.
Today, I'm looking for my next adventure.
