Josh Wulfahrt is a graphic designer, photographer, and filmmaker with a multidisciplinary background spanning cinema art departments, college newspaper and art museum archives, and creative advertising.
Over the course of 3.5 years at supersmile, a luxury toothpaste brand, Josh evolved into a one-man creative team. Working from his home studio, he translated the creative director’s concepts into high-quality assets using medium format digital flash photography and videography. He retouched and developed the raw materials into stills, animations, and videos for ads, social media, and email marketing. In addition to producing campaign content, he upheld brand guidelines and managed the design needs of retail partners—adapting product ephemera to meet the diverse specifications of accounts across platforms.
Before pivoting into advertising, Josh built a foundation in narrative cinema, working across various roles in the art department. As an Art PA on larger productions—such as Netflix’s The Half of It (dir. Alice Wu) and HBO’s When They See Us (dir. Ava DuVernay)—he supported the graphic designer with printing, cutting, and prepping assets, and created internal graphics for the department. On the indie side, he served as Production Designer for CRSHD (dir. Emily Cohn-Tribeca Film Festival 2019) and Art Director on the Academy Award–nominated short film The Letter Room (dir. Elvira Lind), starring Oscar Isaac. On these smaller teams, he often wore multiple hats, designing graphics for props, hair & makeup, and VFX to help fill the gaps common to low-budget filmmaking, as well as set building and decorating, and pre-production scouting and accounting.
Whether collaborating on large-scale studio sets or leading design on intimate creative teams, Josh thrives in visual storytelling—stepping in where needed, stepping up when called.
