Prior to becoming Creative Founder of Crate, Cliff 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 over six years. These career paths have given him a passion for Louisville and the desire to help like-minded creatives sprung up. His heart has always been to serve and love those around him. And now, he has developed the right connection path, whether a freelancer or customer. Together, with this passion and engaging that passion, we can stir up all kinds of good things.

If you feel the same, contact Crate or join him as a partner in what we think is an adventure of a lifetime!
