Art Director, Publishing
Jun. 2015-Jan. 2017
I managed a 5-person multi-disciplinary creative team. We established the brands for alternate universes like Star Guardian, PROJECT, and Dark Star. The music videos and interactive narrative experiences invited both players and non-players to engage with the characters and their stories.
Creative Direction: Created brands and expanded the fantasy of more than 20 different alternate universes through interactive media and out-of-game narratives; Crafted mood boards and presentations to align visual and thematic execution; Collaborated with in-game and marketing creatives; Developed and presented style guides to increase consistency, quality, and scale future creative development
Developing Talent: Developed a studio-wide system of core competencies that adapted to more than 10 disciplines and hundreds of artists across multiple games and products
Cultural Impact: Led exploration of new creative executions and the use of new technologies resulting in content that engaged current players, attracted new ones, and created an ecosystem of content regardless if people played the game or not
