My name is Hughston May
& I love making things.

I’m an artist, a creator, and someone who spends a questionable amount of time on the internet.

Over the past decade, I’ve collaborated with teams, brands, and agencies to bring ideas to life across social, earned, and digital spaces. I’m a Senior Creative currently based in New York, focused on work that feels intentional, cultural, and built for the way people actually behave online.

Experience

I help steer the creative direction, but I’m also the one who rolls up their sleeves. I concept, build, shoot, and edit, staying close to the work so it actually feels like something people want to look at.
