John Adie
John is a Creative Director based in Vivaldi’s New York office. He has worked with Bud Light, Cognizant, McGraw Hill Education, and more to help redefine innovation strategies, design stunning new visual identities, and deliver next-level customer experiences. He believes that the future of art and design will be led by those who can merge today’s AI tools with a classical understanding of design.
John has spent 10 years as a practicing designer with a passion for creative leadership. He’s helped Landsec Property Development revolutionize the urban green living experience, aided SThree Staffing in reimagining their entire brand strategy and visual design system, and most recently guided Bud Light through a sea of data to create a future-forward innovation strategy and pipeline to sustain business across key demand moments.
He received a BFA in Visual Communications Design from the Hartford Art School at the University of Hartford.
John spends his free time pushing the limits of Midjourney (an AI art generator), playing video games, and exploring New York City. If he’s not bouncing around the five boroughs looking for the next best restaurant, he can be found escaping to Central Park or popping in and out of galleries in Chelsea.
