Hello. My name is John Birchfield. I am a freelance Art Director living in Northeast Tennessee. I have a decade of advertising experience in art direction, graphic design and photo and video production. My work has been recognized in global, national and regional advertising competitions. I value teamwork, simplicity in design, attention to detail and understanding the client’s needs. I believe in keeping it simple and that design is about problem solving to make people’s lives better. Experience has taught me that talent and skill can only take you so far. In the end, it is creativity and ideas that matter.
