Paladin Atlanta Candidate
Creative Director
Available For:
Temp to perm and direct hire.
Ideal Position:
The ideal position would be one that allows me to use all my skills and lead brainstorming meetings/creative conception, mentoring, hands on design, client presentations as well as budgets and schedules. I would like to build and maintain a top quality creative team who work together to solve the problems and come up with the best possible creative solutions.
Ideal Environment:
An ideal environment would be working with people who are dynamic, energetic and have a desire to work together to meet and exceed all expectations. I would like working with a culture that is open to and respects all ideas, people and their ideas, as well as a team approach to all aspects of a project. We spend most of our lives at work and we should enjoy where we are and what we do.
Past Experience:
I have been in the creative field for over 20 years. During that time I have done everything from traditional paste-up/production to being a Creative Director in an Agency and on the client side. I have managed as few as 2 people and as many as 30, working together as a team to come up with the best creative solutions to any problem we are given.
Currently:
I am working with a small internal team and re-branding the companies product line as well as developing ads and tradeshow graphics. I am also developing the entire look (logo, signage, environment, packaging and website) for a new ECO conscious retail store in Atlanta, as well as developing the look and feel for a few small retailers' websites.
Additional Notes:
Approximately two-thirds of my career has been in retail/fashion and a third in technology. No matter what industry, the problem remains the same; solve the problem for the client in the most effective and creative way possible. Design is as much about creativity as it is about problem solving and building lasting relationships.
