ABOUT ME

“Blake Vallotton”
Los Angeles, CA

"A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one."

This quote is often shorten to be used as a negative attribute attached to a generalist. I love this full quote because as a multidisciplinary creative, I often fear that my portfolio can be read as unfocused. But, in actuality my creative range has allowed me to be a stronger art director and creative.

I am not limited to knowledge of one practice. I've seen how my experience in photography, video, design, fashion, music, and even fine art has given me a greater prospective to lead a creative vision.

It's been a privilege working at taco bell as an art director since 2020 where I have been able to grow in my art direction and find my voice.

Outside of work, I am hanging out with my beautiful wife, Cass, and our dog, Hoodie. I’m a hobbiest so, practicing brazilian jiu jitsu, playing pickleball, skating around town, shooting photography, and listening to music are some of my favorite activities.

To learn more about me, follow me on instagram or read my boring resume.

Cheers!
