Jason Badden
Unlike a lot of creatives, I build what I design. I am well-versed in imagining something that didn’t exist before. My design aesthetic is both high-concept and approachable. It is current, thoughtful and always highly detailed. My large-scale design projects enjoy a level of detail usually reserved for work on the small scale. With projects of humble proportion, I consider how to tell the bigger story through concept, materials and physical design.
With 25 years of design experience - Working on and off for Nike for 20 plus years with ten of those years as Senior Innovator in Nike’s Innovation Kitchen, and an additional 4 years in Nike’s Brand Design. Prior to rejoining Nike, while attending school at Art Center College of Design, I was hired at Disney by one of my professors where I worked as an Imagineer designing a ride for Disneyland. Then moving to Florida to create 2 spaces called Innoventions at Epcot Center.
After leaving Nike in 2012, I focused on working as a Creative Director for Portland area design agencies. As a CD I rely on my experience as a designer and an innovator to bring a fresh vision to all projects. As a leader, I encourage my teams to balance radical creativity with the principles of good design. I believe that fresh, interesting work comes from talented people who are inspired to work and think differently.
