My name is Joe Morris, a Graphic and Interactive Design Director, contracting design and strategy services for a variety of small to medium-sized clients and agencies. When I left Digitas in 2010, many wondered what I was up too. I had a secure job and had the promise to move up. Instead I realized the poor performing economy gave me an opportunity to take what I’ve learned and apply it to help small and agile companies looking for agency lift and expertise. Work has been great!

Digitas gave me the opportunity to brainstorm, pitch, and execute big ideas for General Motors, GMC, Saturn, AT&T, Holiday Inn Express, Tide, and Downy. This was an invaluable experience because I got to work along side some of the smartest people I know.

Currently I am working on a variety of projects. Some of my current clients include Harvard University, Casali Group and Digital Influence Group

My latest position of interest, which I am proud to announce, is that I have been named the Director of Interactive Strategy for the American Institute of Graphic Artists, Boston Chapter. I will be in charge of AIGAboston.org and finding new and innovative ways to channel communications through the site.
