I’m Kevin Fisher, and for over 25 years I’ve worked across branding, print, web design and digital strategy, helping businesses build and grow.
My approach is simple: combine strong design with real business understanding. Over the course of my career, I’ve worked across agency, corporate and entrepreneurial environments, helping businesses build brands, launch products and execute marketing strategies that actually work.
I’ve led creative teams, managed high-volume projects and built multiple businesses from the ground up. That experience lets me balance creative vision with timelines, budgets and real business needs.
I’ve been with the Ecommerce Innovation Alliance (EIA) as Creative Manager since February 2025. I’m actively exploring full-time and contract opportunities where I can bring that experience into a bigger role.
What sets my work apart is combining creative expertise with real business experience. I understand the full lifecycle of a project, from concept through launch and ongoing growth, including the maintenance, monitoring and support that keep it running well down the road. Every solution I build is not just visually strong, but practical and built to last.
Based in the Richmond, Virginia area, I’ve worked with clients locally and remotely across a wide range of industries. If you’re hiring for a creative leadership role, or need contract support in the meantime, I’d love to connect.
Creative Direction & Strategy
Creative direction that keeps design, messaging and business goals working together across brands and campaigns. I’ve led teams and managed complex projects, building brand strategy and campaign systems that actually hold up as a business grows.
Web Design & Development
Custom websites and ecommerce platforms built with performance, usability and SEO in mind. My experience spans WordPress, Shopify and custom builds, plus the hosting, analytics and marketing tools that keep a site running well after launch.
Branding & Visual Design
Brand identities and graphic design built to stay consistent across digital and print, from logos to marketing collateral and packaging. Every visual choice ties back to clear messaging and the audience it needs to reach, no matter the medium or budget.
My background
Education and career history – 20+ years in the making.
I earned a BFA in Graphic Design from Appalachian State University in Boone, NC in 2000. I started my career as a Graphic Designer, later becoming an Art Director for a multi-million-dollar product brokerage and internet marketing company.
In 2004, I co-founded Slingshot Creative, a freelance design studio that grew from a part-time venture into a full-time business. In 2006, I purchased Slingshot Creative from my partners and rebranded it as Grow Fish Design, which I then owned and ran full-time for nearly 20 years, supporting clients through branding, web design and marketing.
In 2025, I joined the Ecommerce Innovation Alliance (EIA) as Creative Manager, building the brand, website and marketing programs for a brand-new national nonprofit trade association from the ground up.
