OUR TEAM

Aaron Haxton

CREATIVE DIRECTOR

Aaron Haxton is a creative director, photographer, and brand visionary known for building visually iconic worlds that feel both elevated and deeply human.

With more than two decades of experience across branding, creative direction, photography, and visual storytelling, Aaron has helped shape hundreds of brands, campaigns, and creative identities spanning fashion, hospitality, food, automotive, lifestyle, and the arts. His work blends cinematic imagery, emotional instinct, and refined design language into experiences that resonate far beyond aesthetics alone.

Originally emerging through photography, Aaron developed a distinct visual perspective rooted in composition, atmosphere, and storytelling — a foundation that naturally evolved into broader creative leadership and brand building. His approach is driven as much by feeling as strategy, balancing whimsy, restraint, nostalgia, and cultural awareness to create brands that feel timeless rather than trend-dependent.

As co-founder of Clyde + Seventh, Aaron works closely with founders, artists, and companies to craft identities, campaigns, and experiences with lasting visual and emotional impact. Whether directing a brand world, shaping a campaign narrative, or building from the ground up, his work is guided by a belief that the strongest brands don’t just look good — they make people feel something.

He approaches every project with equal parts instinct, precision, and imagination, creating work designed not just to be seen, but remembered.
 
 
 
 

Taylor
McKinnon

BRAND DIRECTOR

Taylor McKinnon is a creative director, founder, and brand architect known for building ideas that cut through culture instead of chasing it.

With a background rooted in kitchens, music, storytelling, and rebuilding life from the ground up, Taylor approaches branding through instinct, emotion, and human connection rather than formulas or trends. His work lives at the intersection of culture, identity, design, experience, and emotional impact, creating brands that feel lived in, not manufactured.

As co-founder of Mr.charlies Taylor helped transform an independent concept into a globally recognized brand through unconventional storytelling, disruptive marketing, and a deep understanding of what people actually connect to. The brand became known not just for what it sold, but for the world and feeling built around it.

Through Clyde + Seventh, Taylor works with founders, artists, and companies to shape brands with lasting cultural impact. His work spans creative direction, brand identity, product development, campaigns, partnerships, and world building, always focused on creating something people can feel long before it ever needs to be explained.

He doesn’t build brands to fit in.
He builds them to leave a mark.
