Hi, I'm Blake Maguire

Curious, strategic thinker guided by how people think and create meaning. 

I translate human insights into brands, narratives, and strategies that resonate widely and drive impact.

How do I think?

1

Insight

Understanding people comes first - how they think, decide, and behave. Informed by studies in psychology, I begin with research and observation, then translate those insights into a clear direction.​

​

  • Audience and consumer research

  • ​Behavioral and cultural context

  • Problem framing​​​

2

Story

Story is where meaning takes shape. Guided by art history and my inherent creativity, I think carefully about the strategy behind visuals, language, and structure.

​​

  • Brand narrative and positioning

  • Strategic storytelling

3

Systems

Great ideas only matter if they can exist in the real world! I think in systems - how concepts effectively scale and show up consistently across platforms.

​

  • Beginning-to-end execution

  • Iteration from feedback

A Bit About Me

I'm a fourth-year at the University of Virginia double majoring in psychology and art history. Beyond the basics, I have a twin brother who's my complete opposite and two labradoodles, and I create abstract collages whenever I have free time. I love mixing whatever's around - stamps, gum wrappers, and even receipts have made their way into some of my favorite pieces. 

Some quick facts:

  • Studied abroad in Milan, where cappuccinos and museums became my routine

  • Grew up in a Taco Tuesday household and am always on the hunt for the best tacos (Taqueria del Sol is the current winner)

  • Unexpectedly into the stock market - The Investing for Beginners Podcast is a current favorite 

  • Billy Joel is always on rotation - "Scenes from an Italian Restaurant" is my comfort song
