Team Bios

Lee Coburn, President is an award-winning designer and illustrator with over 19 years of experience. Mr.. Coburn is an honors graduate of the Atlanta College of Art (Now the Savannah College of Art in Atlanta) with a BFA in Electron Imagery. During his 15 year stint in Atlanta, Mr. Coburn developed a diverse creative skill-set through a variety of employers that included corporations, small design shops, ad agencies, and a video game company -- working his way up from a production designer to a creative director, before founding Coburn Creative in 2002.

Amber Brown's interest in visual communication began when she was barely able to wield a crayon. An abnormal attraction to product packaging, memorization of fonts, and a mounting collection of "visually cool" junk mail, had solidified her path to the ad agency.  In 2007 with B.A. double major in Graphic Design and Mass Communications from E&H, She  joined the Coburn Creative team. Amber feels that every aspect of her job provides rewarding challenge: brainstorming genius concepts with her co-workers, the design process, project management,  to production/web coding, and even flash animation and working Content Management Systems.

Jason Willis’s path to Coburn Creative began at an early age.  As an avid public speaker throughout school, Jason became fascinated with the power of communication.  Eventually this led him to more creative and complex communication explorations, such as painting and photography. Jason graduated from Emory & Henry College, where he majored in Art with a graphic design focus and minored in Visual Communications and immediately joined the Coburn Creative team.  Jason excels in his execution of the many diverse tasks: from planning to production, project management to consultation, and all the exciting day to day challenges, while continually mastering Coburn Creative’s requirement of robust skill sets. His only regret is the resulting receding hairline.
