Global Creative Director blending brand strategy and art direction to grow revenue and build teams.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Global Creative Director who leads end-to-end creative development—brand marketing, product launches, and seasonal campaigns—while protecting a consistent voice and visual identity across every channel. I translate consumer insights into culturally relevant storytelling and conversion-optimized campaigns.
From 2024 to present, I’ve built scalable creative processes, including briefing structures, review checkpoints, and campaign retrospectives to improve operational efficiency and output quality. I partner closely with product, merchandising, and growth marketing teams to align on insights and deliver high-performing work.
I’ve driven major revenue-driving moments like Black Friday/Cyber Monday and Holiday campaigns, contributing to double-digit YoY revenue growth. I also elevate brand positioning through refreshed art direction, including lifestyle photography and video guidelines that emphasize real-life homes, inclusivity, and elevated accessibility.
I mentor and develop multidisciplinary teams through quarterly creative reviews and career pathing, helping creators focus on ownership, excellence, and strategic thinking. Previously, as a Webflow Sr. Manager (Brand Design) and Senior Art Director, I led omni-channel brand marketing, kaizen-driven workflow improvements, and redesigns that increased CTR and pipeline—while delivering consistently on time and within budget.
