Art of D. Richard Williams

I've had a thoroughly enjoyable and rewarding nearly three-decade career in the creative services industry as an accomplished designer and photographer, working in both a client-side and agency-side capacity. I've consistently set the artistic tone and executed a vast multitude of world-class creative projects and initiatives over the course of nearly a three-decade career in the creative services industry. I thrive in fast-paced environments, where the highest level of inventive and innovative creativity is expected, where brands are created and their stories are fully told, where on-time deliverables and campaign budgets are always met, and where exceeding client expectations is always the standard. I have a passion for all aspects of the creative process– from ideation to execution. Furthermore, I thoroughly enjoy the demands of leading and managing groups of collaborative creators, be they remote, hybrid, or in-person teams. Beyond my expertise in managing all phases of the creative development process, I'm also a highly skilled and accomplished graphic designer and photographer. My diverse creative pursuits are showcased in my extensive portfolio, which also reflects my strong command and proficiency with Adobe Creative Suite, which plays an integral role in achieving successful outcomes for my clients.

Lens-based art obsession: Making photographs and telling stories through them is my absolute comfort zone as it relates to art making. I was immersed in photography from an early age by my late photography-obsessed father. I inherited his passion for the craft of image making, honing an acute eye and sense for a scene as it relates to composition, as well as becoming adept in the artistry that’s administered behind the lens. To this day, he still plays a major role in every aspect of my identity as an artist and what I create, as well as the approach and methods I embody when going about creating it. This early foundation in image making led me to a deep study in the visual arts, with creative explorations in graphic and 3D design, sculpture, painting, and photography, earning a BFA with a concentration in photography in the process.
