Originally an art director, Matt began his career in his hometown of Seattle. He first jumped into the spotlight at Hammerquist & Saffel, where he created award-winning work for K2 Skis and Sims Snowboards. The latter captured the One Show Gold Pencil for print. This sent him on to Wieden+Kennedy in Portland, Oregon, where Nike and Henry Weinhard’s were his muses. Prior to starting Creature, Matt worked with current Creature co-owner Jim Haven as a creative director at StrawberryFrog in Amsterdam.

Since Creature’s inception in 2002, Matt has brought a transformative approach to communication for brands including Starbucks, Google, HBO, Pacifico Beer, Dickies, and Pepsi. In September 2012, Matt assumed the post of CEO overseeing both the Seattle and London offices of Creature. Ten years of steady company growth and wide ranging client experiences have prepared him to guide Creature's evolution. Matt likes to be on his classic boat outside of work, along with teaching his 9 year-old daughter how to tie knots.

Jim Haven co-founded Creature in 2002 and serves as chief creative officer and managing partner. Jim’s role is not just to keep the Creature perspective on the work, but to energize and enable the agency to think in new ways to serve our clients.

His career has taken him from Portland, San Francisco, Amsterdam, Seattle and London. Jim has a diverse array of brand experiences with virtually every brand category imaginable and contributed to an extensive client list. Over the years, he’s lent his expertise and creativity to Truvia, Dickie’s, Google, Nike, Starbucks, HBO, Seattle’s Best Coffee, Expedia, HP, The Wall Street Journal, Porsche, and more. His leadership in developing innovative campaigns has also garnered industry recognition, with publications like Adweek, Ad Age, Communication Arts, One, Archive and The New York Times seeking his input. Jim is also a fellow of Creative Social, a global group of thought leaders based in London.

Steve arrived at Creature with the task of making us look good, literally. What makes him unique is his understanding of strategy and how to apply business thinking to great design – no easy task. His career has taken him from small boutique design shops in Nebraska (Bailey Lauerman) to the big agencies of the world (Y&R, Saatchi & Saatchi).. Along the way, he’s covered all the bases, designing retail environments, advertising, brand identities, and beyond. Recent work at Creature has him heading up comprehensive rebranding for Seattle’s Best Coffee, Nuun sports beverages, medical institutes and wine makers. Highlights of his career include international campaigns for Callaway Golf and Pony. Other client experience includes Timberland, Sugarloaf Ski Resort, Burton, Kangol and Lids.

Pam Fujimoto is a Creative Director at Creature. She is the creative lead on clients like Dickies and Truvia, taking ideas from branding down to the retail level.

The person pictured above is an Associate Creative Director at Creature. And sorry ladies, he’s married. He met said wife at Creature when he got here four years ago. Since his arrival he’s worked on brands such as HP, Microsoft, JanSport and The Champagne Bureau. He also has a pretty sweet American-themed tattoo on his upper right arm. So yeah, he’s pretty cool.

Pat/P-Hiddy/Funky P/P Maximus/Sweet P arrived at Creature in 2008 after spending time at Crispin, Porter + Bogusky and The Richards Group. Before that, he graduated from The Portfolio Center in Atlanta and the prestigious Florida State University, commonly listed as one of the top three schools in Tallahassee, Florida.

He’s worked on brands like Volkswagen, Nike, Burger King and Domino’s Pizza. And because of the latter two, he’s put on a little bit of weight and feels self-conscious about it. So don’t mention it when you meet him. Instead, just tell him he looks great. And that he “looks like he’s been working out”.

Besides advertising things, he’s a softball enthusiast, he can play in upwards of 6 songs on the guitar and he’s got a dog named Roy and a cat named Farley who hate each other.

Amy Vroom brings 13 years of account leadership experience on clients such as T-Mobile, Burger King, Office of National Drug Control Policy, Citibank and Johnsonville Sausage at award-winning agencies like Crispin Porter + Bogusky and Publicis. She has most recently been driving the Seattle’s Best Coffee business at Creature. Career highlights include launching the T-Mobile concept store experience – from in-store signage and kiosk design to user flow and furniture selection, and major brand re-launches for Burger King and Seattle’s Best Coffee. She has championed award-winning content for the truth campaign (ONDCP) and Seattle’s Best Coffee’s 24-hour live Facebook event.
