Art Director

Art Director

Bridging culture, craft, and technology through ideas built to connect, and systems built to scale them.

Born and raised in Hawai'i, now based in Los Angeles.

My name is CT Ucol.


Over the past decade, I've art directed campaigns and brand stories for global tech and entertainment brands, work that's earned recognition from Cannes Lions and the Clios, with placements ranging from magazine pages to billboards.


Often described as detail-oriented, passionate, and highly collaborative, I bring equal parts precision and play to my process by exploring ideas, refining concepts, and iterating until something truly clicks.


That range includes six years embedded within the creative organization of a leading Fortune 10 technology company, where I helped direct the visual storytelling behind streaming, live sports, and financial products at global scale.


When I'm not in the studio, I'm usually throwing a ball for my dog Frank, at a concert, on a side quest, taking a flick or adding to an ever-growing collection of vintage clothes and knick-knacks (usually to my own detriment).
