Jamie Iria

Jamie Iria is the founder and creative director of Creative 7, a graphic design studio in Toronto. Established in 2004, Creative 7 has been thriving in the ever competitive Toronto design market.

For as long as he can remember, Jamie has always been fascinated by art and creativity. "I'm a true believer that art and inspiration are expressed in everything around us, from people to places, from objects to abstract concepts", Jamie says.

Stemming from his belief that we should communicate through creative ways, as well as from a natural interest for new technologies, Jamie began using various social media forms to promote Creative 7 and his passion for design. As a result, he has seen his business grow through the "social" networks created by him through his constant hustle MO.

A graduate from Humber College's graphic design program, Jamie contributed with his expertise to local newspapers, magazines and design campaigns before founding Creative 7.

The busy creative director, husband and father of two, has a passion for sharing tips to help others in the world of design and social media through such platforms as Meerkat, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

As evidence of these skills, he has recently co-found Social Media Trend with Giorgio Taverniti, owner of Frank's Pizza House and a Social Media enthusiast as well.
