SAMUEL LUCAS GOVE
I’m an Executive Creative Director who builds brand worlds through design, art direction, and creative operations. I grew up in rural Missouri, studied photography at Columbia College Chicago, and now lead campaigns for brands like Sharpie, Paper Mate, and Graco from Brooklyn while running my own photography and creative direction practice. Before agency life, I worked as a bike messenger in Chicago. In Denver, I founded Denver Bike Gang, a weekly Tuesday night ride that still rolls through the city today.
