Evan Ortiz

I’m a creative leader, art director, and visual storyteller with over a decade of experience shaping narratives across editorial, product, and AI-driven content. From directing award-winning features at Bloomberg to building generative image systems at Apple, my work is grounded in clarity, collaboration, and emotional resonance.

At the heart of my practice is a deep belief that design is more than just visual—it’s cultural, human, and deeply alive. I’ve worked across mediums and industries, but the throughline has always been the same: elevate underrepresented voices, build systems that honor creativity, and craft experiences that feel as intentional as they are impactful.

Whether I’m leading a global network of creatives, guiding inclusive editorial initiatives, or shaping scalable visual strategies inside tech environments, I strive to tell stories that aren’t just seen—but felt.

Currently, I am the Art Director of the Photo department at Airbnb in Portland, Oregon.
