# Andrea (Andie) Hodgson > Art Director at Fotokite Location: San Francisco, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/andreaandiehodgson I’m an Art Director and Visual Designer back in San Francisco after 4 years in Zürich, Switzerland. Over the last decade, I’ve focused on helping tech companies find their visual voice and tell better stories. The highlights of my journey so far: In Zürich: I served as Art Director for Fotokite, a drone company building mission-critical tools for public safety teams. It was a unique challenge to design for a hardware-meets-software product where clarity and trust are everything. In San Francisco: Before moving abroad, I helped build the in-house brand at Matterport. I focused on creating the marketing systems and digital campaigns that helped the brand scale during a major growth phase and IPO. A Global Lens: Having lived in four countries and speaking three languages, I’ve learned that design is a universal language. I use that international perspective to build brands that resonate across different cultures and markets. I’m a firm believer that the best design happens through collaboration. I’m at my best when I’m working with a team to solve real-world problems through simple, intentional, and thoughtful storytelling. ## Work Experience ### Art Director @ Fotokite Jan 2024 – Present | Zurich, Switzerland ### Designer @ Fotokite Jan 2022 – Jan 2024 | Zurich, Switzerland ### Senior Communications Designer @ Matterport Jan 2020 – Jan 2022 | San Francisco Bay Area • Directed and built the Matterport brand across marketing materials through digital marketing campaigns, emails, landing pages, and social platforms • Brand designer for company IPO, communicated design strategy with VP-level executives • Created app store imagery for Android and iOS (leading to a 40% increase in conversion-to-install of our app) ### Marketing & Brand Designer @ UnitedHealthcare Jan 2018 – Jan 2020 | San Francisco Bay Area • Designed digital marketing campaigns, emails, landing pages, social posts, and client toolkits to drive incremental product engagement Concepted and produced out-of-home collateral for events such as CES, Tour of California, and other health trade shows to promote Rally/ UnitedHealthcare • Led design of Rally Coach brand style guide • Partnered with Senior Art Director, copywriters, and product to create a digital Rally brand book ### Editorial Designer @ Healthline Networks, Inc.
