Marie’s story….
Marie is an energetic, positive, experienced, award-winning creative director. She leads and creates effective communication vehicles while juggling many balls in the air. She leads an internal creative team while managing external designers and vendors. She recently launched a brand refresh while developing new brand guidelines and keeping the lights on in terms of deliverables and events.
Over the past twenty years, she has collaborated with very talented creative teams throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. Her clients included large biotech and SaaS (software as a service) corporations, to a boutique, locally-owned bakery. In 2017 she moved back home to Michigan and currently directs and manages many marketing campaigns, and external and internal design teams, involving a strong social media presence and several large and small annual events.
She is a hands-on creative director, always willing to pitch in, mentor, and try new approaches to communicate a message. And she gets a thrill out of getting as much as possible out of a budget by thinking outside the box.
Strengths
