Art Director - Hylink Digital

Who We Are 

Modest is a Hylink Company super humble, world-class, larger-than-life creative company, chock-full of amazing people who like to make unbelievably cool things. But you know, modestly. It was founded by Ryan Gerber (Our CCO)  in 2024 to create Modest things on a global scale. That’s right we got all the letters covered (APAC, LATAM, US, EMEA) and we’ve got the type of modest talent that you can only scope on a global scale to do the type of cool things we wanna do. And we really like to make thoses cool things whenever we get the opportunity to. In every medium, even the ones that don’t exist yet (yes, we know this is kind of ambitious). So let’s make some modest headlines. Together.
