I'm Joe Hagel, a writer, creative director, and – some might say – back seat designer, based in Los Angeles.

I was born in Virginia, to a Puerto Rican mother and a hoosier in the Marine Corps. I’ve lived in Argentina, Spain, and Canada before landing in Southern California.

I've worked at agencies like 72andSunny, sid lee, Chiat/Day, and brand-side at places like Mechanix Wear, Oakley, and Crunchyroll. I’ve been fortunate to have a career with such diverse experiences and I’m always excited by what’s around the next corner.
