It's time to prioritize creatives!
Prior to starting Crate, Cliff Hilton had been called a jack-of-all-trades in the creative world. Jumping around from branding to website design, he's worked for ad agencies; ran his own shop; and saturated the relatively new field of data visualization for a consulting firm. He taught creativity as a super power at a local high school which helped him realize he needed to look to the new generation of creatives and pass along his experiences.These career paths have pulsed a passion to believe in creatives and the desire to help other creatives find work. His heart has always been to serve and love those around him. And he has learned that all kinds of good things get stirred up when these things are prioritized.
If you feel the same, contact Crate to start a project or join Cliff as a partner in what we think is the adventure of a lifetime!
