I am a creative director and producer with a background rooted in experiential and digital marketing. After 12 years in Chicago, now based in NYC. I specialize in leading visual storytelling across campaigns—overseeing everything from concept to execution. With experience directing on set, producing shoots, and managing creative teams, I bring a sharp eye, leadership, and deep understanding of how to make great ideas real.
Nolan Barret graduated from Central Saint Martins, London, with a BA(Hons) in Visual Communication. He has collaborated with leading organizations such as Unilever, Adidas, Spotify, Google, and Airbnb.
