Summary
Lance Smith is a creative technology leader and co-founder with over two decades of experience designing and building web, print, and multimedia experiences for federal and commercial clients. As Chief Creative Officer at Echo Origin and former Creative Director of his own studio, he blends visual craft with front-end development skills—HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Drupal theming and ServiceNow—so design decisions are grounded in feasible implementation. He has led brand and publication work, managed large photo and asset libraries, and taught design, which gives him a pragmatic eye for systems and team workflows as well as aesthetics. Based in Virginia, Lance is comfortable translating complex client needs into polished, usable interfaces and has a long track record of delivering timely, repeatable solutions across platforms. A less obvious strength is his ability to straddle agency-style client relations and hands-on technical theming, making him effective both as a strategist and a doer.
