Hello, my name is Justin Dean Miller. I am a creative director and designer based in the Philadelphia area.
My creative passions stem from a love of art, design, film, and anything else that might spark an idea. The output of these interests includes (but is not limited to) watching a ton of movies, a small tshirt company, way toooooooo many records (that’s a lie, you can never have too many records), and an affinity for the building brands.

University
Is there anything more human than to seek? To search for meaning in the everyday; to discover how things work, why we are the way we are, and what we don’t know yet? To err, to learn, to share, to communicate? The search for truth and meaning connects all 8 billion humans on this earth, the billions who came before and the billions who will come after. And when you bring together endlessly curious humans in one place with shared purpose: to learn, to practice critical care, and to research, it becomes possible for those humans to have a positive impact far beyond the Farm.

StanFord
engineering
At Stanford Engineering, leaders are born and ideas are realized in huddled groups over late-night pizza. Bonds are forged in nanoparticles and history is written and rewritten and rewritten again in code. For the past 100 years, we’ve engineered a more sustainable future and intelligence that elevates our own, driven by the urgency to better humanity. Stanford engineers have helped build the world we all inhabit—restlessly innovating to discover the next breakthroughs, big and small, that will improve lives. And as we enter our next century, we will forge ahead as we always have: fearlessly, together, moving the world forward because we were engineered to.

STANFORD
ARTS
It’s not just hung on white walls, or sung into a microphone, or pranced across a stage. It’s creating the world’s most sensitive radio to boogie to dark matter. It’s using a Pollock as an engineering blueprint. It’s helping invent the motion picture, because someone had to.
At Stanford, art is all around us. It’s within us. It connects us. It’s our inherent and undying need to make an impression, to speak our truth, to share a moment, to open minds, and to change the world for the better. And at Stanford, this drive takes shape in uniquely profound and creative ways—in a collaborative dance spanning continents, at the intersection of ceramics and theoretical physics, in a four-line poem written to rehabilitate.
And by connecting art and artists of all kinds in one place, we spark more inspiration, we bridge cultures and connect communities, and we empower the curious and the passionate to see and be seen, to listen and be heard, to feel and be felt.
Together we’re finding the art in anything and everything and drawing it all together under one inclusive spotlight. Because it’s all art. And it’s all here

NIKE
chicago basketball academy
The Nike Chicago Basketball Academy creates a safe space for youth to gather and revel in the spirit of summer pick-up games once played. It captures the essence of the city and represents the communities that call it home, uniting people through their love of the sport, bringing together old friends, and forging new bonds. We draw inspiration from the golden age of Chicago industrialism and the traditional metalwork seen around the city. These stripped-down mechanical marks embody the strength and grit of Chicago.

SUPERPRETZEL
Whether it’s our first College Gameday, a Friday night spent with friends, or a family trip to the amusement park, we can make every moment super with SUPERPRETZEL. It adds to experience and never interrupts. It can be shared with those who are there and remind us of those who aren’t. It can be the centerpiece or the added treat. It’s our call to action to engage moments that mean something to us.
Make all the moments super.

GUY FIERI
SUPERPRETZEL set up shop in Miami’s art-forward Wynwood neighborhood on the Saturday before the Super Bowl. Serving up SUPERPRETZEL Soft Pretzels and a ham-blasted Cubano sandwich curated by Guy Fieri and Anthony Hoy Fong, Guy’s Chief Culinary Officer, to crowds attending Super Fan Fest. On Super Bowl Sunday, Guy and SUPERPRETZEL took center stage at The Player’s Tailgate, a high-end food event that tapped into an audience of current and past NFL players, celebrities, performers, and famous chefs in the hours leading up to kickoff. At the replica of his childhood pretzel cart, Guy curated a “Meet and Eat” of super proportions, serving Cubanos, reminiscing about his pretzel-cart start and taking photos with excited fans. The story of Guy’s childhood cart provided a unique, ownable way to build awareness around SUPERPRETZEL and get people talking. In addition, SUPERPRETZEL executed a targeted media relations campaign coinciding with the activation launch and partnered with six Miami-based influencers to build brand affinity among SUPERPRETZEL’s target audience and help spread the story of the #AwesomeSuperPretzelCart.

Tulane
only
the
audacious
By all odds Tulane University shouldn’t be here. After hurricane Katrina, Tulane had to make a decision to rebuild or move on. 13 years later their choice to stay helped New Orleans rebuild. This resolve is applied to every problem they tackle and was part of the inspiration for The Only the Audacious campaign. The campaign is the most ambitious fundraising endeavor in Tulane’s 184 years with a goal of raising $1.3 billion.
