Neil Yarnal

Creativity is Neil’s core driver. He loves the absurdity of Creative Thinking; how intentionally irrational it is. Breaking systems and processes and observing the natural patterns of culture to better understand how who we are can better define what we create. Neil reapplies these skills over time to find practical and profitable pipelines for Brands, Agencies, Departments. Brand refreshes for NBC, co-founded companies with people like the.com, and remote fractional Creative Direction for infrastructure leaders like bright.ai. It's all painting.

Sparking Brand Development within both early-stage & practiced organizations—Neil is focused on learning how the who that drives the why can better build the what, where & when.

Creating and empowering iconic, useable, and evolving toolkits, Neil operates as a creative Swiss Army Knife across diverse (and divergent) industries, mediums, & perspectives.

A singular project that informed a decade of thinking... Explore Project

Neil is a self-starter. I’ve never met someone so passionate about bringing out the creative juices in others. To do just that, and to introduce theories of play in the workplace, Neil started a regular interactive project called GroupMind, in which everyone was invited to learn and explore their own self expression via different mediums. The series not only improved morale within our 30-person team but it also helped people see their own creativity in new ways, building confidence and ultimately improving client deliverables.
