As a the lead Graphic Designer, I specialize in collaborating with internal stakeholders to fulfill design requirements for our Company's diverse family of brands and store concepts. Serving as the lead liaison for the graphic design team, I excel in managing project timelines and scope, both independently and alongside our Junior Graphic Designer. With a comprehensive understanding of the entire workflow/project process, I am responsible for crafting original concepts, overseeing revisions, and preparing final production assets for the Business Development Team's consideration. My expertise extends to creating branding assets tailored to various campaigns, cities, and destination locations, ensuring consistency across apparel, hard goods, signage, and accessories. By strategizing and planning conceptual designs for upcoming seasons, I contribute to the continuous evolution and relevance of our brand identity. Through clear communication of design updates, I emphasize the positive impact on our brand and store experience, with a focus on our current markets in Minnesota, Chicago, Orlando, and Denver. Leveraging my collaborative spirit, I work closely with external vendors like printers to ensure project delivery within budget and on time. Additionally, I actively collaborate with team members to drive in-season business effectively by influencing promotional strategies based on evolving business needs. A key aspect of my role involves developing and coordinating color stories, collections, and programs to enrich the visual narrative of our brand. Furthermore, I collaborate closely with the marketing team to produce compelling email campaigns and advertisements that convert, ensuring seamless integration of design and messaging to maximize audience engagement and brand impact.
