Making Things
@josh_eberhard
I am a designer + art director living and exploring in Brooklyn.
I enjoy working on creative campaigns and moments to help connect, entertain, or inform real humans by staying real and engaging. I've worked in mass communication internally on the Consumer Direct Team at Nike, built immersive events and global campaigns for adidas with Kamp, and self-publish DIY zines, books, and art.
I am a freelance for hire, teaching a Visual Communications course at ASU, partnering with bands, brands, agencies, non-profits, and the homies. No matter the medium or scale, I like to concept, organize, and direct creative solutions with impact.
So, what do I bring to the table?
Design + Art Direction
Establish clear and compelling communication through a variety of mediums & aesthetics aligning project + client + audience needs.
Strategy + Concepting
Building systems and processes to create an impact. Design that is not only beautiful but makes something effective and real.
Practical + Action
Experienced from concept to production with real-world solutions while maintaining a cohesive impactful campaign.
Some of my more recent work I'm stoked:
This Is
A Book
This limited-pressed 150-page book was designed to connect with those in my community on a deeper level. A collection of essays, graphics, and ideas organized as the "game of life" from one player's POV. 1 of 8,000,000,000 people's thoughts at the time of printing.
Nike CDS
I worked internally on the Consumer Direct Studio, meaning 365 content for app, email, dotcom, and social. The challenge was to take in-line products and show up for consumer moments across all platforms. To accomplish such high volume, the strategy was to keep it simple, focusing on the right person x place x capture for the moment.
Nike x Snapchat
Oversaw design and provided direction for several work streams in an ongoing AR marketing partnership. From a webby-winning run in Brooklyn, integration with CDM content, in-store activations, and at-home on-foot try-ons with Nike By You customization.
The next question you may be asking is: What type of design interests me?
Experience Driven
It could be a large-scale festival or a personalized seeding kit; I like the challenge of creating a moment or feeling someone will not easily forget.
Mass Communication
We are scratching the surface of the information age. I am interested in how we as humans are organized and communicate in a quickly changing uncertain landscape.
Direct Action
We only have this one life, this moment you are in right now... I like to make that moment a little more enjoyable, interesting and if at all possible better for those I share it with.
IDENTITY
+ BRANDING
+ IDENTITY
+ BRANDING
+ MARKETING
+ ART DIRECTION
Creating identities and sharing ideas through visual languages is a powerful tool. I enjoy a range of art directions, branding businesses in my community, or self-produced content. My work is rooted in building a feeling for an organization or group. Connecting with humans to band together behind a brand, share information openly, or get a little joy.
LIVE HUMAN
CONNECTIONS
LIVE HUMAN
CONNECTIONS
Creating moments that disrupt someone's day for positive change is one of the best feelings. Walking into an immersive space can be a magical and impactful connection—tying together branded communications, physical builds, and programming to leave a memory. Or just being a human talking and sharing our collective experiences.

COMMUNICATION

COMMUNICATION
From concepting, pitching, and strategizing to the final production details, I like organizing and directing creative ideas through visuals and presentations. Effective communication is the cornerstone of success when working in collaboration with creatives, non-creatives, production partners, governments, and lawyers. Bruh.

DIY ETHOS
+ ARTIST COLLAB
I have been lucky to work with large brands budgets and dumb ideas that my friends asked for free. I have worked with artists & athletes at the top of their game and try to help communities in need. I enjoy making things (hopefully to better myself & others) with anyone willing to make work with me. If you have an idea for me... Let's talk.
Have been lucky enough to work with a budget... and I have worked with literally zero. Some of my favorite work is things made by my friends and I. From zines & books to Social & identity, I meld with other creatives to make something new. I enjoy working with artist/folks with an interest but could use design support to visualize their ideas.
Wow, you made it far on my site...
