Josh’s design career began at some of the best shops in the Boston area. But always one for adventure, he headed out west. Josh quickly made a name for himself in the Denver market, becoming the favorite designer of ad agencies, major breweries, and local big brands alike. His ability to pair design with thoughtful reasoning has given him a reputation of elevating brands and leading them to success. After a decade-long stint he’s now back in NY raising a family.

His ability to pair design with thoughtful reasoning has given him a reputation of providing quality successful solutions. 

Josh likes to hike, camp, snowboard, photograph landscapes, and canoe but has no time for any of that. 

Ricky Lambert

Lead Writer / CD

Ricky was born and raised on the lakes of Missouri. His family moved to Colorado when he was a teenager and it was there that he developed a passion for art and music eventually leading to his interest in advertising. After graduating from the University of Colorado’s ad program, Ricky cut his teeth at Crispin Porter and Bogusky working on Burger King, Windows, and Domino’s. 

After that, he further honed his skills in the Colorado area working at ad agencies for brands big and small, including Colorado Lottery, Wyoming Tourism, Generation Wild, Noodles and Company, Google, AAA, and Voodoo Ranger. Along the way, he’s earned awards from The One Show, National ADDYs, and the OBIEs.

When he’s not wordsmithing, you can usually find Ricky rock climbing, skiing, or rafting Colorado’s rivers. So, actually, you probably won’t find him.
