About

I don’t just make things look good. I make them mean something.

Hi, I’m Patrick Born — a multidisciplinary creative director, strategist, and builder of standout brands. With nearly a decade of hands-on experience across design, photography, video production, branding, and marketing strategy, I’m not just fluent in visual language — I speak it natively.

Where others see a product, I see a story. Where others follow trends, I set direction. Whether it’s developing a new off-road lighting brand from scratch, leading a full creative overhaul for an underperforming product launch, or shaping content systems that drive real ROI — I bring vision, taste, and tactical execution to the table every single time.

I’ve led creative teams. I’ve rolled up my sleeves and shot the content myself. I’ve written scripts, edited video, designed branding programs, overhauled ad creative, and architected full go-to-market strategies. I’ve produced high-converting campaigns for niche audiences, revitalized stale email marketing, and built visual systems that scale across platforms.

What makes me different? I don’t stay in one lane. I’ve got the eye of a designer, the brain of a marketer, the instincts of a director, and the standards of someone who simply refuses to do mediocre work. I care deeply about craft, but I’m always pushing it further — guided by data, market positioning, and storytelling that cuts through.
