Accomplished Creative Director & Design Team Manager | Brand Strategy & Digital Asset Creation
I'm a highly accomplished Creative Director and Design Team Manager with extensive experience in leading brand strategy, digital asset creation, and innovative design practices.
I managed and expanded the brand design team from a single designer to a full in-house team with additional contractors. I oversaw the team's budget, streamlined design operations, and led strategic initiatives to maintain brand consistency across all company channels. My leadership contributed significantly to Fastly’s IPO, enhancing brand recognition and engagement through innovative visual designs and effective collaboration with agencies and vendors. My efforts notably reduced vendor costs by over 85%, simultaneously improving quality and speeding up project delivery.
I led creative direction for brand design initiatives, including the development of logo marks and airport digital signage. I managed the transition to an offshore agency design support model and led a team of designers in Buenos Aires. My key achievements include directing the branding for the launch of United Polaris Business Class, from initial concept through to logo design and comprehensive brand execution, and managing special projects like airplane designs for high-profile partnerships. My role ensured that all design initiatives aligned seamlessly with United’s brand identity and digital experience framework.
