Conner, originally from Seattle, has spent time on both coasts at award-winning agencies like Special Group, Anomaly and Droga5. Throughout his career Conner has successfully combined his two favorite things - beautifully crafted images and dumb sense of humor. His style of work is reflected across many iconic brands like Uber Eats, Mattress Firm, Jimmy John’s, IHOP, Pizza Hut, and more.
In non-advertising life, Conner lives in Brooklyn with his wife, Kade. He spends his time watching movies, seeing shows, cooking and stress baking, which is when he bakes to relieve stress and stresses about baking. It’s a cycle he’s actively working through.
