J.Gilman | Creative Director
J handles all of our print, design, and web development. If anything is mispelled or “funny-looking,” it’s probably his fault.
He enjoys negative space; brevity; the color gray; pointing and laughing; and collecting old books, gas masks, & pencil sharpeners. He has been known to become hostile upon hearing the following terms: “outside the box,” “more edgy,” “colorway,” and “email blast.” He holds a BFA in graphic design from Georgia State University.

McQ was on the varsity wrestling team at the University of Virginia and managed to receive a bachelor’s degree in psychology while missing few (if any) parties. He did the nights and weekends thing to get a masters degree in business administration from Pepperdine University. McQ serves on the Board of Inner Strength – an at risk youth education program, and is on the Chastain Park Conservancy Advisory Board.
