About
Ashton Krow is a designer and developer based in New York.
Ashton’s work involves design and technical implementation, including brand systems and front-end experiences. He is currently available for work in brand design, creative technology, and web development.
Most recently, at Homery, Ashton worked across ILVE, Verona, Shop Appliances, and related retail brands. He built and maintained reusable e-commerce and marketing templates, customer email, and support systems across large product catalogs. The work required translating design and logistics decisions into repeatable structures that maintained good design within automated systems, no matter what content would need to be displayed.
Previously, at Universal Processing, Ashton led a rebrand following years of inconsistent brand use and a need for a cleaner, more maintainable system. The rollout reduced reliance on outside agency support, saving the company over $80,000, and led to a promotion to co-lead the marketing team. In that role, he directed creative projects and managed designers while supporting ongoing brand adoption and execution.
At Cosm, during a rebrand transition, he provided design coverage across key touchpoints, updating existing assets to align with the new identity while maintaining brand equity from legacy brands and producing new marketing materials as needed. His work included a pitch deck that helped secure a $500,000 partnership with Meta.
Ashton got his BFA at The Cooper Union where he studied graphic design, printmaking, and painting. While there, he taught painting and graphic design to NYC public high school students through the Saturday Program. Alongside his previous in-house roles, he has worked independently with creators and small teams on identity, creative direction, and brand execution.
