HannahMariya Epstein

Summary

With over 17 years in the graphic design field, my expertise lies in leading teams to deliver creative solutions that resonate with target audiences and drive business growth. At my most recent company, the focus was on developing branding strategies and corporate identities that aligned with our clients' visions and goals. My mission has always been to create visually compelling narratives that not only reflect a company's ethos but also foster a strong connection with their customers. As a Senior Art Director I led a design team in producing impactful presentations, logos, and comprehensive branding strategies. We excelled in ensuring visual consistency across sub brands and advertising, leveraging typography, color, and imagery to tell a cohesive story. Collaborating closely with stakeholders, my team and I managed production coordination and consistently delivered high-quality design solutions that supported the strategic objectives of our clients.

Deadline-driven Graphic Designer focused on overseeing projects from concept through final delivery. Successfully creates brand messages, strategies, and key graphic productions. Resourceful and hardworking with vendor sourcing expertise and empowering leadership skills illustrated over 17 years of industry success.
