Mara Conway is a Senior Art Director at RPA at RPA. She possess expertise in social media, public relations, photoshop, adobe photoshop, graphic arts and 30 more skills. Colleagues describe her as "I have celebrated Mara’s accelerated and well-deserved promotions from Intern to Junior Art Director to Art Director over the course of 2 years of managing her, and will continue to follow her career and support her in any way. Her professionalism is at a standard higher than her role. She has a strong eye for design, layout, animation, and prototyping. She concepts skillfully, always exploring multiple solutions and solving problems along the way in order to get polished and well-formed products the first time. I’ve never worked with a creative who can master new software as fast as Mara can - in a couple weeks, she became our team’s prototype expert. She is ambitious, masterful at handling multiple projects and is the most reliable Art Director I’ve ever worked with. When she volunteered to do pitch work with other departments, I heard stellar things about her work and received new requests for her to work on more pitches. They say the best employee is someone you can see yourself working for - this is very much the case with Mara." and "I have taught in the Chapman University Graphic Design BFA program for almost 10 years and without exaggeration, Mara Conway was one of the top 5 students I've ever had. She took Color with me during the Spring 2018 semester and consistently produced the most accomplished projects in the class. Firstly, she designed an original set of patterns to brand multiple products. Her patterns were carefully researched, documented and technically created. She gave herself a challenge to use a complementary color palette that she usually doesn’t prefer and succeeded brilliantly. Her final patterns work seamlessly together and communicate vibrancy, excitement and complexity. Her vector work in Adobe Illustrator was technically superior. Secondly, Mara created an original series of box packaging for tea. Instead of just using an existing template, she carefully adapted a template to suit her concept and used design elements as well as original text to communicate to the target market. Thirdly, she rebranded the National Museum of Mexican Art through thorough research of the audience and cultural elements. Once again her use of color, cultural connections and original illustrations to brand this museum was creative and undeniably effective. Finally, she designed an original travel app showing her ability to craft a user experience that was functional and interesting. For all of these projects, our program demands a rigorous Process Folder documenting the original concept, ideation, thumbnails, digital process, final execution, design defense and a creative brief. Mara excels in identifying the key communication problem for a project and describes her thinking and process with excellence. Her written skills are far superior to the average student and she cares about quality. She always goes the extra mile with quality. Every project and process folder was carefully proofed and designed. In summary, I highly recommend Mara for any position she applies for in her future career. Any client of company would be fortunate to work with her, as she will bring her absolute best to each project. She is superbly creative, communicative, technically skilled, easy to work with and demonstrates excellence in all she does. I also observed that as a person, Mara presents herself with professionalism and showed respect for her peers during presentations and critiques. These are qualities that do not go unnoticed and reveal the professionalism she will bring into her career. It was an absolute privilege to have Mara as a student and expect great things from her in whatever career path she chooses to pursue."
