I'm Franklin J.
Here's my story...
I’m a Chicago-born creative and experience strategist who believes that great design isn’t just about what you see—it’s about what you feel. My journey into design began not in a studio, but in spaces of culture, community, and storytelling. From the fashion floors of retail to the frontlines of brand activations and UX workshops, I’ve always been drawn to the power of design to connect people to something deeper—identity, purpose, and possibility.
Design is not a new concept for me. From a young age, I was taught that we are all creatures of design from a higher power. Our bodies were designed by God to function beyond our comprehension. Our minds were designed to seek truth. Our hearts were designed to yearn for love and affirmation. Design is woven into every aspect of life—and true design speaks to each person individually. For me, design has always been about connecting the unconnected, inspiring more, and embodying my most authentic self.
Rooted in the layered narratives of my hometown, I approach every project with a deep respect for story and a commitment to equity. Whether I’m building a new UX flow for a global platform or curating a wedding that honors heritage and heart, I lead with honesty, openness, and intention. I believe every person—and every brand—has a story worth telling, and the way we tell it matters.
With over a decade of experience across UX, event design, creative direction, and systems strategy, I specialize in creating immersive, identity-driven experiences that move people—and culture—forward.
Let’s create something real, resonant, and beautifully disruptive—together.
