JP Flores

Creative Director with 15+ years of experience leading brand and marketing work across teams and channels. I define the problem early and reduce ambiguity as the work develops. I work between strategy and execution, setting direction and staying close to the details. I’m accountable for the decisions that determine quality, coherence, and follow-through as the work scales.
