Affectionately known as “The Little General,” Brian keeps our creative razor sharp through keen attention to detail throughout our client relationships. His career of creative leadership is matched only by his thorough approach to client opportunities through stellar design and witty conversation. He keeps projects, teams, timelines and clients on track when issues arise, which in turn keeps everyone in a great mood.

Brian was born in Kellogg, Idaho and grew up in Boise playing baseball, fishing and listening to heavy metal, in no particular order. While not at the office Brian stays busy with his wife and two daughters, grilling meat, playing yard games or camping with a fly rod in hand.

Philip is the brand director at SOVRN. He helps our clients identify opportunities and execute them tactically. His expertise leads clients through large-scale productions with confidence and ease. Philip has a deep background in user experience for web and mobile, as well as a proven ability to design across any medium, ensuring that our clients receive the most effective approach, regardless of marketing platform.

Philip grew up on a small farm in Middleton so the outdoors is in his blood and rolling up his sleeves comes naturally. He spends his free time in the mountains, camping, backpacking, fishing, and riding anything with two wheels. He also enjoys backyard BBQs and watching his two kids compete in way too much soccer.

Joe maintains the ship that is SOVRN, whether it means providing direction on user experience or guiding a client through a rocky patch. His experience with technology, storytelling and user behavior impact nearly every client on our roster. Plus, his (normally) calm demeanor and problem-solving skills ensure that SOVRN and her clients don’t often lose sight of the things that matter.

Joe was born and raised in Idaho on an alfalfa farm, and as a result is usually puttering about building this or fixing that. His laid-back personality means he’s down for whatever someone may suggest, whether it’s installing a floor or grabbing a beer.

Also, Dogs > People.

In addition to being a talented art director, Nicole has a driving passion for story. She brings fresh perspective to our clients and maintains a realistic and genuine tone. Smart but inquisitive, tough yet compassionate, Nik creates thoughtful and unexpected solutions that delight our clients and help them reach audiences in meaningful ways.

Nik is found wherever her chopper takes her — hot springs, mountain passes, or long stretches of roads to everywhere. She loves seeking out new Mexican restaurants with her hubby, family gatherings, and the occasional impulsive solo journey.

Brian is leading our expansion into Montana as our Client Relations Manager. Born and raised in Helena, MT, he chased his dreams of moto and surf down to southern California where he spent a few years making friends with everyone but the sharks. He moved to Boise in 2006 where he worked in the action sports industry managing athletes, marketing products and making connections.

Cross-trained as a fun facilitator and relationship builder, Brian will spearhead our client engagements. When he’s not doing that you’ll likely find him on two wheels, at a lake with his wife and two kids, or acting out an 80s action movie. Or all three.

Ever the visionary, Chris lives for the lens. He strives to capture the most beautiful and impactful moments to help lead our clients to success. Equally adept at creating visual concepts for animation or real life, Chris brings our visions to life through refined, fluid motion graphics and stunning photo and video.

His vibe is an eclectic mix of fantasy football, new music, film, art, city league sports, and tasty eats. He and his wife love being outdoors with their two dogs, and if the rivers are flowing Chris is probably fishing them.

Tom’s passion for building elegant technical systems began when he was eight years old. His knowledge encompasses a wide range of different platforms, systems, techniques and languages, which allows him to work within nearly any modern (or not) environment and help our clients accomplish achieve the best experience for their customers.

Tom’s love for travel and culture often finds him on a cruise to a new part of the world with his wife, and sometimes his kids. He also plays stand-up bass to keep his fingers nimble.

Chris hails from the UK, where his desire for film and video developed into a career full of music videos, reality television and independent films. He takes complex narratives and weaves them artfully into simple and memorable stories. He provides a social and technological framework to our clients making pretty work smarter.

When the kids go to sleep, he and the missus are probably making props for their next sci-fi short. Travel, technology, short films and coffee and among his favorite activities–unless there’s a comic-con or cosplay event within a few hundred miles.

Chris is a designer that can’t help but forever tinker with logos. His contributions to brand work for our clients is driven by a desire to make things looks better in addition to making them work better. Chris has a unique perspective on design and user experience and provides simple yet brilliant approaches to the challenges our clients face.

When he’s not sketching, kerning or beautifying things, Chris is on adventure somewhere. Whether it’s a quick backpacking trip or a month on the Grand Canyon, he’ll be making new friends and trying to make the world a better place—probably in Chacos.
