About Calvin Lyte

I’ve spent over 15 years solving creative problems for some of the largest brands and advertising agencies in the world. I entered advertising back in early 2007 in the production studio at McgarryBowen NY. Back then knowing Quark Express got you in the door and being nice with an x-Acto knife meant you knew how to make things. Pushing pixels was my thing and I was and still am pretty good at it. I eventually impressed enough creatives and senior executives that Warren Ekins made me an Art Director working under him on Verizon Wireless. I was also able to work on Burger King, Reebok and Disney wile at McGarryBowen. Later my mentor Vann Graves propped the door open for me at McCann. I was able to join his team and successfully lead campaigns for American Airlines, Army, Nikon and Cigna Health. As my creative pursuits expanded I transitioned to freelance where I would have broader exposure to a variety of brands and agencies. I was then able to work on Jameson, Vanguard, Allstate, JBL, Lili, Bristol Myers Squibb, Centrum, Earth’s Best and recently COVID-19. A few things you should know about me is, I am a trained Graphic Designer with a strong background in production and passion for brand identity, print, digital, 360 design, and traditional television advertising. I am also driven by projects that help people. Through some of my most recent work I was able to make the most impact in people’s lives. This is where I would like to focus the rest of my career. Lastly and a very important part of who I am and what drives me is my family. I am partner to an awesome creative woman and father to our 2 equally talented boys. I am Caribbean at heat. Born, bread in Guyana South America. I have a love for my Soca music and good curry with Dhal Puri. I am also a Veteran who served honorably as an electrician for 4 years in the US Navy.That’s me summed up in 4 paragraphs. Let's talk sometime.
