Marshall McKinney in Residence at Metaleap Creative

Metaleap Creative has added Marshall McKinney as its new creative director in residence. Formerly serving as creative director at Garden & Gun for the last 16 years, McKinney is an award-winning designer with a penchant for storytelling and strategy. As the agency’s first creative director in residence, McKinney will partner on a range of projects while driving collaborations with clients across the brand, publication and hospitality space. He brings an extensive resume with a number of accolades including a five-time American Society of Magazine Editors Winner, Society of Publication Designers Brand of the Year Winner, James Beard Award Winner and more.

“There are a lot of talented designers out there but Marshall is a brilliant creative who sees design as a means to solve complex problems, and he’s willing to take the time to implement ideas that prioritize longevity in order to be effective,” says Jose Reyes. “At Metaleap, we are committed to building brands that endure in a world of ‘next,’ and few people are willing to run alongside that design philosophy. Marshall shares this perspective with our team and we’re very excited about the ways we’ll partner to innovate and continue drawing people into beautiful things. We meet leaders every day in publishing, branding and packaging who want to do bold and brilliant things. Marshall is here to help our clients do just that.”
