About Bill King
Kingco Creative is a full service creative network headed by none other than me – Bill King - a creative guy with a vast arsenal of experience, a penchant for fun, and an eye for great design. Over the past 20 years, I've worked as a designer, illustrator and creative lead for some of the top agencies and brands on the planet. I can take a project from start to finish, but am equally as happy to pitch in as needed. My management style is relaxed, open and free of ego. Summed up - I'm a creative thinker with a sense of humor, a passion for new ideas and a desire to deliver strategically sound and creatively driven programs on time and on budget. I'm available for either a contract or full-time position. Let's chat.
