Creative Operations

David Rager is an accomplished Creative Director with over two decades of experience in design leadership, brand building, and environmental experiences. As NASA's current Creative Director, he oversees the agency's visual brand and iconic Graphics Standards Manual and is responsible for reintroducing the NASA Logotype (Worm). Previously, Rager led teams at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Disney, the Museum of Contemporary Art Los Angeles, and the New Museum, and co-founded Weekends, a design studio operating between Paris and Los Angeles.

Originating from Denver, Colorado, my pursuit of creative production, business, and community led me to California. My professional journey encompasses extensive experience in freelancing, consulting, and teaching production of video, photography, and digital media before transitioning to an in-house position. While in-house, I helped to concept, build, and lead operational teams supporting Creative for one of the largest companies in the world.
