Tim Kelly
@timkelly
Creative leader driving brand strategy, design, and multidisciplinary team execution.
What I'm looking for
I am a creative leader with decades of experience building and directing brand, advertising, and design teams to deliver measurable business results. I have led corporate creative departments and full-service agencies, managing designers, writers, multimedia creators, and production artists while overseeing budgets, vendor relationships, and client communications.
My work includes brand development, campaign strategy, UX/UI foundations, and production across print, digital, and experiential channels, using tools such as Adobe Creative Suite, Figma, Generative AI and Microsoft Office. I have a hands-on management style—running creative meetings, pitching concepts, negotiating contracts, and ensuring projects meet timelines and financial constraints.
I seek to apply my creative leadership to drive innovation and business objectives, collaborating across departments and with external partners to preserve brand standards and deliver high-quality, on-strategy creative work.
