About

Billy Palmer

Senior Art Director, Designer, Motion Designer

 
 

Sure, I may have been the second-best student in my second-grade art class (weird brag), but it wasn’t art that got me into design and art direction. It was business.

My obsession with business initially led me to study finance and accounting, but after a few semesters, I became more interested in how marketing could make or break a brand. That curiosity eventually led me to design, which meant a lot of late nights learning Photoshop and a lot of rough mornings (and goals scored on me) at hockey practice.

After getting my start in motion design at MullenLowe, I realized I wanted to do more than bring other people's ideas to life. I wanted to help come up with them.

Today, I’m a Senior Art Director at Digitas in Boston, where I work across concept development, art direction, and design for brands like Bank of America and Lenovo.
