Mason Yarnell’s Summary

I'm an interactive creative with 10 years of experience in Art Direction and Design, focused on branding across web, desktop and mobile platforms.

With experience in both agency and corporate, I co-founded a digital agency, Yarnell Will, in early 2007 where I produced award-winning work for Nike, HGTV, Food Network and General Mills. We later merged our business and strategy with OLSON of Minneapolis to help expand their presence out west. There we acquired Capital One as a client and holistically revamped the beloved annual Mascot Challenge campaign.

I joined EGG HAUS late 2008 in order to design innovative products and experiences with talented, agile teams. We work with marquee corporate brands as well as helping bootstrapped start-ups get to market.

We also nurture our own products at Egg Haus. Currently we have 2 iPhone applications in the incubator which we'd love to tell you about very soon.

Branding, Art Direction, User Experience & Design across consumer platforms such as Web, iPhone & Social Media Networks.
