Joseph Rey Digital Art Director

ABOUT JOSEPH REY

I’m a senior-level art director and hands-on designer with over 20+ years of experience in entertainment and lifestyle branding.

I’ve built key art, title treatments, and digital campaigns for some of the biggest studios and agencies in LA. My style mixes strategy, storytelling, and sharp visual execution — powered by Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign, plus a solid base in production. Lately, I’ve been leveling up with AI tools like Firefly, Runway, Midjourney, and ChatGPT to push ideas faster and keep the work fresh.

Before my entertainment career, I spent a decade in traditional print advertising, designing large-scale campaigns for clients like the City of Los Angeles, the Mayor’s Office, and The Boys and Girls Clubs of America. I’ve also created work for Latino sports and cultural brands, with a focus on identity, pride, and community—tapping into the visual language of heritage, language, family, and resilience.

Originally, I set out to be an illustrator—freelancing by 16 and later studying design and illustration at Los Angeles Valley College. In 2017, I trained at Gnomon in Hollywood to sharpen my digital painting skills.

When I’m not designing, I’m out with my dog. We hit the trails, play fetch at the park, and cruise the streets on our eScooter (she runs; I scooter). It keeps us both grounded and happy..
