Let's make something
awesome together.

Craig Winslow is an artist and designer who uses light to create playful, narrative-driven visualizations and immersive experiences.

Winslow’s creative pursuits utilize multiple mediums, from projection mapping, 3D, AR, VR, to XR; focused on the 'never done before’ by using a mix of new, old, and emerging technologies, always with a playful passion to his approach.

After studying graphic design and 3D art, he worked in digital production and then industrial design at JDK Design. Winslow left to work independently and has spent the past several years building his own studio and creating conceptual and interactive work for clients. As Adobe Creative Resident (2016-2017) he brought to life Light Capsules, an ongoing project reviving faded hand-painted ads across the world. His first permanent exhibition 'Brilliant!' launched in Las Vegas in 2018 at The Neon Museum, which his studio continues to lead all technical and content creation. In Summer 2019 he worked with Tim Burton on his exhibition 'Lost Vegas' at The Neon Museum.

Some other past clients include NikeLab, Portland Trail Blazers, Tim Burton, Coca-Cola Consolidated, The Neon Museum, Adobe, Princeton University, Bucketfeet, and viewers like you.*

Here's the long version.

I'm a born and raised New Englander from just outside of Portland, ME.

Growing up, I loved playing outside, inventing games & adventures nearby woods and streams. As time went on, my imagination blended with a love for technology, making wonderfully weird videos with friends, and embracing an internet world in its infancy. As long as I can remember, I've felt a dual-citizenship of sorts between physical play & digital wonder.

I moved to Vermont for college, graduating Cum Laude from Champlain College in 2010 with a bachelor's in Multimedia & Graphic Design, and a focus in 3D Art & Animation. I loved traditional design, yet again had an undeniable interest in 3D work, but no idea how I would use it yet.

A week after graduation I started a dream internship at JDK Design where I worked on design & digital production of Burton Snowboards. Fun fact: the design test for this internship went to my spam folder. Always double check your spam folder.

That fall, my 3D skills had my back and I was hired to their Industrial Design team as a 3D Designer. For the three years that followed, I worked on various projects for many clients including Chaco, Merrell, Planned Parenthood, Xbox, Seventh Generation, Beats by Dr. Dre, Incase, and Virgin Mobile, amoung others.

In May 2013, I left to start my own design studio after a passion project became a creative catalyst, and embraced my love for blending the physical & digital. Since then, I've focused full-time on self-initiated concepts, collaborative projects, and client-based work. At the start of 2014, I started teaching as adjunct faculty at Champlain College and taught/reinvented a course on 3D Form & Space.

In early 2015, I moved to Portland, OR, where I soon discovered how confusing it is to move to another Portland. As part of the move, I created a road trip adventure Kickstarter project called Projecting West which was a Staff Pick, and inspired a few other projects along the way.

In May 2016 I landed a year-long dream job as Adobe Creative Resident, focusing on a new project Light Capsules for an entire year, fully funded by Adobe.  I also had a studio space based in XOXO Outpost.

Since wrapping up the creative residency with Adobe in mid 2017, I started work on my first permanent exhibit, 'Brilliant!', which launched Feb 1, 2018 at The Neon Museum in Las Vegas.

I started working with the collective Conjure who helped to manage my studio, enabled me to take on larger projects, and realize more of my ideas.

I'm currently represented by HELO who act as an extension of my capabilities and production house for larger-scale projects.
