WELCOME,
Iβm JONAH HULBERTCreative Director / designer / Creative STRATEGIST
I build creative systems and the campaigns that bring them to life.
Iβm a creative leader who believes the best ideas donβt come from ego β they come from curiosity, collaboration, and a little bit of chaos (the good kind).
Iβm a Creative Director whoβs spent the better part of two decades trying to understand why people do what they do and how brands can play a meaningful role in that.
Most of my career has lived at the intersection of brand, product, and real life. Iβve worked in agencies, in-house, and now as a co-founder of Worthy Girl, a womenβs consignment shop on the North Shore that somehow turned into a case study in repeat behavior, community, and βStupidly Good Consignment.β Not a phrase I expected to say professionally, but here we are.
What Iβve learned is this: the best brands donβt just communicate. They guide behavior. They take signals, data, habits, context, and turn them into something people can actually feel, act on, and come back to.
Thatβs the work I like doing.
I still build campaigns. I still care about craft. But Iβm most interested in building systems that connect everything. What a brand says, what a product does, and what someone experiences in the real world.
Outside of work, I run (less competitively than I used to), spend a lot of time thinking about things like recovery and consistency, and try to keep up with my dog, Olive, who has significantly better work-life balance than I do.
I also spend way too much time improving and tinkering with the 18-foot center console I built during COVID, which, depending on the day, is either a passion project or a very expensive lesson in patience.
If you made it this far, thanks. If you want to talk about ideas, Iβm always up for it. You can reach me HERE

How I Think
Influence Behavior not just awareness
build Creative Systems then campaigns
Product + media should feel connected
The best brands guide decisions, not just communicate
Your brand is your most important product
