River Davis is a postdisciplinary Creative Director and Brand Lead known for crafting compelling visual narratives and developing algorithm-targeted "Bubble Gum Content" campaigns for brands and personalities ranging from Mercedes-Benz and DJ Khaled to Xbox and Child of Wild.

His design thinking production experience ranges from producing fashion capsules and consumer products to visual identity and experience design on the global stage. His focus on the hyperfunctionality of media and visual rhetoric provides a strong foundation for the production, communication, and distribution of brand strategy.

Collaborating with a global network of culture-based creatives and artists, he has built integrated campaigns for Sotheby's and Bernar Venet, produced AI-powered immersive experiences for NTENT.ART and Bright Moments, and developed conceptual fashion collections with manufacturers across Vietnam, Germany, Portugal, and the Americas.

River is also an accomplished professional artist, having exhibited in Hong Kong, New York, Berlin, Hungary, Portugal, Switzerland, and France.
