I'm Ahmad Jordan, a designer and writer who started in the advertising industry and built a three-decade career shaping brands and stories. I've designed and written for institutions like the University of Scranton, PBS/WNED, Autism Services Inc., and several creative agencies, guiding visual identity, campaigns, and editorial direction. My work blends design, copywriting, and storytelling to communicate complex ideas with clarity and heart. In 2016 I moved to Canada and pivoted into screenwriting, serving as a Showrunner Assistant for The Tenth and producing music videos Gatinha Gostosa and Celebrity Kit-Kat. My career spans not-for-profit autism awareness, documentary production, and development work across film and television. Today I’m based in Toronto, continuing to write and create across media while pursuing meaningful storytelling projects.
