Who Am I?

I’m Kurtis A. Murray, but everyone knows me as Kurtis Aslan. Creative work has been a constant throughout my life. Music led to design. Design led to photography. Photography led to filmmaking. Those experiences eventually grew into leading teams, building creative systems, and helping organizations tell stories that actually mean something.

I’m a nerd about all things brand. I love the craft just as much as I love the conversations around it; why something works, how it could work better, and what happens when talented people are given the freedom to chase a bold idea. Whether I’m directing a production, brainstorming a brand, designing a workflow, or geeking out over a new piece of technology, I’m happiest when I’m building something that didn’t exist yesterday.

I could go on and on about all that… but hey, there’s only so much you can fit into a homepage without turning it into a novel, so this is the condensed version. The full story includes my music taste, creative rabbit holes, studio build-outs, an obsession with making creative work easier, and at least one completely unnecessary story about In-N-Out.
