Hi I'm IAN HAGEN​​

A FEW THINGS ABOUT ME:​
I am a big believer in making emotional advertising.
If I have learned anything about being constantly
bombarded with ads, it's that in order to remember it,
you gotta feel it.
​​
The weirder the better. In a sea of formulaic, mundane advertising,
nothing gets me more excited then genuine, color outside the lines, creativity.
​
I like to think I have an eye for design, but hey, it's all subjective anyway.
Take a look at my work and judge for yourself.
​
​And finally, I need to be making work or the imposter syndrome will drive me crazy.
