Jenny Beatty - Creative Director
As teammates, I deeply miss the unmatched talent, humor, and honesty Justin brought to every project we produced together—qualities that helped our team at OCVIBE make the work stronger and the process deeply rewarding. I was delighted to solve creative problems with Justin, who has that rare ability to not only conceptually ideate beautiful themed installations but is also humble enough to make them feasible when the goalposts move.
Whether it was a bar design, a digital installation, or a sculptural concept, his architectural eye and high creative expectations elevated everything we made. It wasn’t just the outcome, but the way he got there: with humility, respect, and a true “yes, and” spirit that made collaboration seamless. In the truest sense, every idea got stronger in his hands, and I always knew we were striving toward the same goal.
But it wasn't just creative expertise that made Justin a fantastic colleague—it was his humility and candor that were a lifeline on the toughest projects. He never hid from a challenge, was curious about every new tool or tactic, and jumped in to help however he could because it was the right thing to do even if it wasn't his job.
Since our time as teammates, I’ve watched him continue to thrive and rise as a creative leader, and it’s no surprise. Justin is not only a visionary designer but also a remarkable human being and teacher. Any team lucky enough to have him will feel the impact of both his artistry and his generosity. goes here -
