Graphic Designer, Art Director, Illustrator, Painter, Cartoonist, Thinker and Creative mind.
I am currently working on my own business, SozaDesigns, based in Dallas, Texas. I believe in creating work that is both aesthetically pleasing and strategically sound, and of course, will get your business growing. Before striking out on my own, I was part of the creative team at Javelin, a direct marketing agency based in Irving, Texas. My position at Javelin was Sr. Art Director for over 5 years. Prior to my experience at Javelin, I worked at Rapp Collins (Now Rapp) as an Art Director. At both agencies my role as an was to create strategically sound direct marketing campaigns, from concept stage to production, for both print and online experiences.
I have over 15 years experience in the graphic design and art direction fields. I have worked on a long list of projects ranging from logos, posters, website, emails, marketing brochures, sales-sheets, packaging, point-of-purchase displays, direct mail, advertisements, complete branding identity packages, as well as promotional marketing. One of my latest endeavors has been creating and managing the brand identity for The Behavior Exchange. I have worked on all aspects of the marketing efforts, from the logo to the website to all offer emails as well as creating on site inspirational posters and even some fun buttons. I’ve also created Buddy The Bee character. A whimsical and fun spoke-person/bee.
Besides working with a myriad of small businesses, I have also created and art directed marketing materials for a large list of clients, some of them Fortune 500 companies. The list includes:
• AT&T
