Born in Iowa, raised in Northern California and currently based in Los Angeles, Tim Hankins pursued design to explore his creative interests: art, music, film, games and technology. A childhood hobby became a career when Hankins joined ARTISTdirect as a graphic designer in 2000. He then founded his own design firm (Methods of Madness) where he has designed for a group of diverse clients such as Walt Disney Records, supermodel Marisa Miller, and the LA Philharmonic. He was the first designer hired by The Honest Company and helped to build that brand through its early digital and packaging designs. After 4 and a half years at Honest, Hankins left as its Director of Creative Services and spent a year as the Creative Director of Laurel & Wolf, an interior design company based in West Hollywood, CA. Shortly after Laurel & Wolf he joined the security software company Carbon Black and was heavily involved in crafting the visual direction for the company’s IPO in 2018. Carbon Black was acquired by VMware in 2019 where Hankins is currently a Senior Design Manager for the VMware global marketing team.
