Creative Direction

Working as a Creative Director since 2017

In 2017 I’ve launched Brand Creators, a design studio focused on helping small and medium-sized businesses with creative design solutions. Since then, I’ve been working as the Creative Director having the responsibilities of managing, overseeing and/or developing design projects for our clients.

Working as a Creative Director has helped me to massively improve and expand my skills, both into the graphic design field and outside of it. I switched from working behind the scenes as a Senior Graphic Designer, to working directly with clients and directing creative teams to reach the projects’ goals.

Tasks & Responsibilities

Leading Projects from Start to Finish

In my journey as a Creative Director I’ve had a variety of tasks and responsibilities, from project management, to creative team direction and client communication. All with the purpose of reaching the defined goals for each given project.

Some of these tasks and responsibilities are:

Client Discovery Calls & Meetings

I’ve had many calls and meetings with clients and potential clients, with the purpose of learning more about their business and project goals.

Creating Briefing Documents

I’ve created briefing documents for a variety of projects. These are sent to clients after project confirmation, to be filled in with more details.

Project Management

I’ve managed projects by setting development plans and following through to make sure that deadlines and services qualities are met.

Client Direct Communication

I’ve held direct communication with the clients before, during and after the development of the project, keeping them up to date with the project.

Direction of IT & Creative Teams

I’ve directed and overseen creative teams in the development of various projects and guided them with the purpose of delivering the best work.

Client Project Presentation

I’ve held project presentations for clients, where I would showcase work that we’ve put together based on the defined brief and details.

The Tools That I'm Using as a Creative Director

I’m using many tools (apps, software, extensions, plugins etc.) on a daily basis, with the purpose of optimising my workflow and improving the outcomes. I will leave you with a list of some of the tools that I’ve been using or tested for the past years.
