Hi, I'm Blake Maguire

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

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

How do I think?

1

Insight

Understanding people comes first — how they think, decide, and behave. Grounded in psychology, I begin with research and translate those insights into a clear direction.​

​

  • Audience and consumer research

2

Story

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

​​

  • Brand narrative and positioning

3

Systems

Great ideas only matter if they work in the real world. think in systems — how concepts scale and show up consistently across platforms.

​

  • End-to-end execution, refined through feedback

My Work

A few projects that reflect how I problem solve across strategy and creative.

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
