Agatha Peake
ACD Interactive/Sr. Art Director/Sr. Visual Designer
Summary
Hello! I was recently working at The Lambesis Agency for 4 years as an
Associate Creative Director of Interactive where I was the lead creative
for all beauty and fashion clients. I managed and mentored a small team
of interactive designers while also mentoring project managers and
occasional creative interns. I recently relocated from San Diego to
Seattle and am looking forward to new opportunities in my career.
A few of my key assets are: professionalism, determination to solve
problems, multi-tasking, and great attention to detail. I have a great
understanding of design basics and principles, including concept, art
and creative direction, project management, Ux/Ui, presentation, color
theory, typography, layout and basic HTML5 and CSS3. I'm a team player,
love everything fashion and beauty, I have a good sense of humor and
give 100% effort on every project.
I have a B.A. from the University of Washington in Political Science, an A.A.S.
from SCCA in Graphic Design, about 3 years of marketing experience, and
8 years of design experience working for The Lambesis Agency (La Jolla, SD),
Nordstrom.com, Expedia.com, Amazon.com, Microsoft and Magnusson
Klemencic Associates. I also have 4.5 years of customer service and
retail experience working as a top Sales Associate for Banana Republic
and Nordstrom Shoes while studying at the UW.
My job is to create interest and connect the ideas and products to the client’s
audience through visual communication. I believe less is more and prefer a
minimalist approach.
I look forward to hearing from you!
