As the lead creative designer for our world-wide brand of social expression products, I identify and forecast key design trends to elevate our products and marketing strategies above the competition. I balance deadlines in a fast paced department, create concepts and art for products, marketing campaigns, sales presentations, P.O.P. displays, product catalogs, trend reports, and merchandising guidelines, along with content for our web and social accounts. Our retailers include Whole Foods, The Container Store and TJ Maxx. View Company at jillsonroberts.com or insta: @wardrobe.of.wrap
