Hello, my name is Read. I’m a Senior Art Director / Associate Creative Director based in Brooklyn, NY. With a background in design and art direction, I have had the opportunity to craft brand narratives and visual identities across fashion and lifestyle.
Having worked in both agency and in-house settings, I have gained valuable insights that inform both my approach to strategic thinking and bold creative execution. I've led teams from initial concept to production and delivery on award-winning brand campaigns and initiatives. With a propensity for motion-based work, I craft visual direction and treatments that bring big ideas to life.
I am currently partnering with brands and agencies to create meaningful content and creative campaigns. Clients include: American Eagle, Levi's, New Balance, HelloFresh.
From 2020 to 2022, I was a Senior Art Director at Noah NY, where I developed creative concepts and visual direction for brand campaigns and seasonal lookbooks. Additionally, I oversaw social content direction and helped to optimize the customer experience across e-commerce and in-store design.
Between 2018 and 2020, I was a Senior Creative at Mother NY, working on accounts such as Instagram and Target.
From 2016 to 2018, I teamed up with RXM and The Science Project on award-winning work for Christian Louboutin and Pat McGrath Labs.
Prior to that, I was a Designer at YARD NYC, where I worked on TV broadcast and 360° campaigns for accounts such as Timberland and Athleta.
