Hello,
My name is Maxwell Franklin. I like to create things.
I’ve always had a bit of a fighter’s spirit, whether it’s pushing a campaign to the next level or figuring out how to make a dumb idea feel award-worthy.
When I’m not doing that, I’m usually painting, obsessing over mid-century furniture, or finding new ways to justify my eBay/Facebook marketplace habits.
If you’re here, I hope you enjoy the work. Alternatively, you might be here to purchase the ad unit on my homepage, in which case, you have great taste!
Either way, feel free to reach out. We can talk shop, art, or negotiate a very reasonable CPM.
Cheers.
