About Me

Greetings and Welcome!

CREATIVITY & THE 4 C's

I am Jim Quinlan, a Creative Manager and acting Creative Director with a rich history in Fortune 500 and start-up companies. As a dedicated problem solver, I’ve garnered a reputation for orchestrating operational improvements that have not only generated $1.5M in new revenue streams but have also led to substantial cost reductions. My commitment to creativity extends beyond results; it’s a purpose-driven journey that blends intuition with smart design techniques.

CURIOSITY: A perpetual learner, I navigate diverse career paths—from video production and teaching to graphic design, marketing, and branding. This diverse experience includes roles like Jungle Cruise skipper at Disneyland, Fine Arts Instructor, Cable Television Commercial Producer, and Distance Learning Application Developer.

CONFIDENCE: My formative years as a Cast Member at the Walt Disney Company influenced my approach. Much like a living on-stage play, I believe in staying in character, having fun, and embodying a role personalized by charisma and integrity. In the words of Mark Twain, “Always do right – It will gratify some people and astonish the rest.”

COURAGE: Embracing leadership with a fearless attitude towards calculated risks, I take full accountability for failures, viewing them as invaluable lessons. The joy of team collaboration and the mentorship experience fuel my constant pursuit of growth.

CONSTANCY: Dependability, personability, and flexibility define my approach. I consistently complete projects on time, maintaining a high standard of production.

Passionate about storytelling, the arts, and engaging with fellow creatives, I believe that eARTh is incomplete without ART.

INFINITE MINDSET: My creative journey is guided by Simon Sinek’s Infinite Mindset. I don’t view creativity as a finite resource but as an endless well, fueling constant innovation. It’s an approach that encourages collaboration, learning from failures, and embracing a mindset of growth and possibility.

With over a decade of design experience, five years of teaching, 21+ successful product launches, and an impressive 999+ trips to Disneyland, I invite you to join me on a journey where creativity knows no bounds.
