Tyler Jordan
Tyler Jordan (he/him) is a Brooklyn-based photographer, designer, and gallery
director whose work transforms New York City’s transit system into a living canvas. A former MTA train operator with a decade of experience inside the subway, he developed a unique light-painting style that merges technical precision with storytelling.
His projects: The Spread Love Project, Love in Transit, and Original Flowers have earned recognion from Adobe MAX, Behance, and HUG.xyz, and his work has been featured on Pix11 and most recently a solo show in City Point Mall Boleyn. As founder of C.A.N.V.A.S (Creating A New View Around Society), he curates exhibitions, builds partnerships, and mentors emerging artists through at DSGN Gallery, which is his Art Studio located in the Bklyn Navy Yard.
Tyler brings this blend of artistry and entrepreneurship into his workshop, Artist to Asset, which helps creatives develop processes to grow their careers. The workshop focuses on sharpening communication, delivery, and networking, while teaching the importance of under promising and over delivering and adapting processes to maintain expectations.
Through his philosophy of “Sweat More in Battle, Bleed Less in War,” Tyler emphasizes preparation, skill refinement, and determination, showing how resilience and discipline empower artists to accomplish more. His goal is to equip creatives not just to make art, but to position themselves as assets—trusted partners capable of delivering lasting value.
