Profile
Associate Creative Director at Saatchi & Saatchi
Graphic Design | Greater Los Angeles Area, US
Summary
As a versatile Associate Creative Director / Art Director, I currently work at Saatchi & Saatchi in Los Angeles, creating immersive brand campaigns for Toyota. My role is to concept, design and at times animate, rich, digital brand experiences for high profile clients.
Often faced with minimal turn around time, I am no stranger to producing high quality work within extremely tight deadlines. This is when my addiction to coffee kicks in and my sleep deprivation begins.
My role has been primarily design focused, but since I've always been drawn to motion graphics, I find myself expanding my skill set and moving in that direction. I am always pushing myself to stay up to date with the ever–changing demands of the industry, on both the conceptual and technical levels.
Over the past few years I've had the privilege of working on brands such as Nike Sportswear, Toyota, NikeStore, NIKEiD, SPARQ, NikeWomen, NikeOS, Hewlett Packard, GE, Verizon, Bulgari, McDonalds, and New York based, fashion label Rochambeau.
