My name is Cassidy. I am a multidisciplinary creative director, designer, and brand storyteller with a love of smart ideas and an eye for pixel perfection. For over 15 years, I’ve created award-winning experiences for my clients and mentored amazing creative teams. I’ve worked with a variety of clients (from Fortune 100 companies to small start-ups) and my strengths include brand identity, creative strategy, content creation, graphic design, video production, and digital marketing.
As a creative director, it is my responsibility to thoughtfully distill the client’s vision and translate it into an unforgettable brand experience. Good design is good storytelling, and our most authentic connections come from powerfully conveyed emotions. I find my greatest inspiration in the raw, heartfelt stories that each of us has at our core.
As a passionate advocate for justice, authenticity, and exploration, I believe smart communication can be a catalyst for real change. In my spare time, I love documenting my adventures, pretending to be an interior designer, laughing at the antics of my dog, and volunteering for organizations that empower and inspire hope.
