Harun is a Bay Area raised and New York bred advertising and marketing creative director, graphic designer, mural artist and lettering fanatic.
He’s lead teams at a number of great agencies like Grey, McGarryBowen, Virtue/Vice, Big Spaceship and Momentum with some incredible people across a range of creative and design projects. He transformed a laundromat into a mobile gaming center with Google Play, brought Lipton tea drinkers into a VR world of flavors, uncovered a HP hacker network with Jonathan Banks and took Ferrari fans through a series of firsts.
He loves making a positive impact on people's lives through creative pursuits and typically has an aversion to talking about himself in the third person.
