I am an experienced graphic design and creative professional, seeking and discovering innovative ways to communicate through design to convey, at a glance, simple solutions to complicated business problems.Since 2002, I’ve served as Creative Director of my own agency, Curtis Creative Design, where I lead, guide, support, and supervise staff to manage production of print and web/digital design projects. You may have seen my work in Nordstrom, Target, Walmart, Costco, Bed, Bath & Beyond, Petco, or PetSmart. My list of clients includes, Petco, K&H Pet Products, The Company of Animals, Vittles Vault, Infantino, Discovery Toys, Security On-Demand, Euro Style Advertising Agency, and other clients in areas including pets, baby and juvenile, internet security, life sciences, financial, religion, real estate, and others.With unending commitment to design excellence, my accomplishments include achieving brand evolution—completely turning around brands—taking many clients’ brands from horrible to spectacular, aligning them to attract today’s consumers.I am eager to attract new clients and to take on larger projects. I have expanded my network of collaborators—including other designers, marketing professionals, photographers, illustrators, web developers, and more, and I’m ready to handle larger, branding and design projects.I would also like to take on projects requiring advanced package design skills, as well as catalog/brochure layout, as these are things that I love. Before opening my own agency, I worked for several companies in design positions. I served as Senior Graphic Designer/Art Director for Petco Animal Supplies Corporate Office, in San Diego, I worked for Pagoda Arts Inc., as Graphic Designer, and Orience Cosmetics as a Packaging Designer.My specializations include: Creative Services Leadership; Creative Project Management; Package Design; Catalog Design; Branding & Corporate Identity; Website & Digital Design, and Creative Strategy/Planning.
