> Global Creative Director | Building brands and creative teams at scale

Location: San Francisco, California, United States
Profile: https://flows.cv/garrettkline

Global Creative Director with 15+ years of experience building and leading creative organizations across technology, life sciences, fintech, and entertainment.

I work at the intersection of brand, design, and business; helping companies define who they are and how they show up as they scale. My focus is brand architecture, identity, narrative strategy, and creative leadership during periods of growth, reinvention, and complexity.

I've built in-house creative studios from the ground up, partnered with executive leadership through major inflection points, and led work that drives alignment, trust, and long-term value.
