Portrait of Lucas Crigler

About

Hey There!

Thanks for checking out my work. I'm an award-winning advertising creative director who's been in the industry for 15+ years. I also happen to be a transgender male. Whew... never thought I'd be so nervous to come out as award-winning, but there you have it. Cat's outta the bag.

Throughout my career I've worked in agencies coast-to-coast, across the U.S. Twice I relocated, driving solo with my awesome boxer dogs riding shotgun. Can't say I'm a childless cat lady, but I can relate.

Outside of work I'm devoted to bettering the LGBTQAI+ community through activism and consulting — work that's taken on a life of its own and I wouldn't trade for anything.

I've also begun following my dream of becoming a world-renowned DJ who'll someday secure a residency at a cool Ibiza beach club. Until then, let me help you create kick-ass campaigns derived from decoding complicated client briefs.
