Delivering his expert knowledge in creative direction to the Spectruss team, Justin brings our clients’ vision to life. With over 12 years of experience in design and graphic communication, he ensures our clients are represented at the best light through various forms of media.
Justin is an architecturally trained designer with a Bachelor’s Degree in Architecture from the University of Tennessee. His creativity and interest in the arts started very early. He began life drawing at age 3 and built toys from unconventional materials. He has lived in three countries and studied on three continents, and has shown his award-winning work internationally. The diverse cultures he has experienced have provided him with the best lessons in life that he values dearly.
During his studies, Justin took a considerable interest in the marketing and promotional side of design. Fast-forward to today, he has worked on multiple campaigns and built brand identities for various industries ranging from architecture, fashion, engineering, health and beauty, food and beverage and more.
After hours, you’ll find him out for a run, lifting heavy objects, making social content for his influencer dog, outdoor and indoor gardening and learning the art of bonsai. Post 2020, Justin has been a part of an online community where he actively participates in growing streaming platforms for artists and has been slowly working behind the canvas on his own art as well.
After graduating college, I got hooked on the show Mad Men. Watching the creative team work on campaigns and seeing how a brand’s message can impact the world was incredibly inspiring for me. I wanted Don Draper’s job.
Building beautiful brands and making clients happy.
Trends and technology move at a rapid pace, so you always have to think of future proofing your work to stay relevant. But I definitely listen to the kids. They know what’s cool and they know what’s up.
So many! Designing the Hutton & Smith Brand is probably my most recognizable work, but I enjoy giving clients their full visual potential and make them look their very best.

Dexter. Ozark. Breaking Bad. The White Lotus. When it comes to movies, l’ve always enjoyed “based on a true story” adaptaions. I have an appreciation for historical depictions and documentaries about war time events/bioepics… when education and entertainment become a two in one special!
