Skylerwho
Freelance Art Director + Freelance Designer
Focusing primarily on the tech and fintech spaces. I helped provide solutions to brands remotely and in person. My goal was to help smaller private held companies achieve the same level of success as the big multi-tiered agencies that were once thought of as the only solution for creating break-neck success and unique marketing materials. After creating a new process for breakthrough ideas and deep-discovery research methods, it led to multiple long-term clients and acquisitions. Not only were the solutions created giving the clients ample ROI, but it gave each individual client a new found passion and understanding of the power of thoughtful brand messaging.The mission was to focus on the clients need and helping them discover the needs they never thought they needed. Providing angles and covering all channels with solutions that create disruption and lasting returns for the investors. At the core of it all, growth and data are always the measure for success. The solutions varied, but generally always created a digital experience at the center of it all. Innovation was always included wether it was new methods or new technologies.
Fusion92
Designer
Fusion92 is a 360 advertising agency located in Chicago. While working for Fusion, I helped lead multiple campaigns that generated design awards and RFP deals. Combining our teams unique positions helped create communications that created the differentiator our clients were striving for. Our team focused on all the direct needs ranging from digital experiences to physical experiences for a handful of clients, AT&T, HR Block, CBOE, Tessco, Buddig, Oanda, and Bosch.The big difference at Fusion is that we focused on innovation - where I help contribute to the innovation lab leading to a patent assist on a new hologram prototype that we eventually leased out to AT&T and other brands. The success was easily attributed to the leaders who focused a great deal of energy into positioning our agency as a producer of unique creative. There was a solid understanding across the team that innovation brings a huge ROI, which enabled us to create some very forward-thinking campaigns for our clients and netted the company lots of awards consistently.
People's Tax Center
Freelance Designer
My very first official "paid-gig", although I already had numerous unofficial requests helping individuals bring their ideas into the digital space, they were all very much under-the table (because I was mostly just doing it for knowledge building up to this point, being just 12 years old.) This gig was the first official test helping my Dad build his first business. My goal was to help create a unified brand, mostly all physical designs and way-finding for the physical store location.
