Transcript of My Work
Hi, I’m Gia and I’m a Strategic-Creative.
But I don’t think that’s what you want.
Me?
If you’re looking for an Art Director I’m sure you’ll find many impressive candidates. I’m positive there will be someone who will walk in with all the answers and two decades of experience.
This industry isn’t about the bankable approach. You can’t win awards and blow client’s minds if you’re only using your granddad’s tried, true and tested methods. If that feeling of ‘been there and done that’ creeps in even a little bit, then it’s a fail. It’s about pushing things to their creative limit to produce surprising solutions in the marketplace. So I’d be shocked if you wanted the same old same old kind of an Art Director.
I’m a visual messenger. I’m a bridge builder between designers, clients and consumers. I have a background in Psychology and Visual Studies, which means that not only do I have an ambidextrous brain, but my methods utilize both wells of information. Because of this cross-disciplinary approach, I can tell you why AND how the most effective visual strategies work. My strength is to design and create strategically, always keeping the brand’s goals in mind.
I have a strong background in leadership. I’ve been spearheading a team of people working in 5 different disciplines to concept, design, and make an exhibit for the new eatery at OMSI. I’ve extensively studied motivation and influence in order to employ techniques to create successful and productive teams.
I don’t know everything. But, I believe that any solution can be found with a flexibility of thinking and collaboration. I’m an eternal pragmatist, which means that I want things to work and I don’t care who thought of them because credit is infinitely divisible. And really, who cares? As long we put something out there we’re proud of, I’m good. I think that the best process for creating is generative, where ideas build, get edited, and get rebuilt with a group of strong minds working in concert (well, mostly).
I have a lot to offer. As Art Director, I want to infuse a new perspective to an already impressive creative machine.

Hundreds of hours examining works by deconstructing the various elements by identifying and articulating what works, what doesn’t, and what is being communicated.
The study of shared symbols and how they affect meaning. A good example is a red octagon, which has a very specific cross-cultural purpose... stop. Understanding how to utilize symbols in a way that creates a shared meaning.
Semiot icsUnderstanding what “turns people off”
to things and how that links to the brain’s mechanisms for perception of information.
Cognit ive Strain
Adopting specific visual strategies to affect a particular message. For example, understanding what typeface and color will be most effective based on precedence, tone, history, context etc.
Pragmatic Design
Understanding how the brain perceives information to enhance understanding. Why and how things become "intuitive." Utilizing theories adopted in Interaction
Design like Gestalt’s.
Percept ion
Cri t ique
Qualities of composition, balance, scale, form, color, and light. Creating an in-depth understanding of how these elements function and how to articulate them
Formal
What propels people to action. Understanding how to create and
adapt intrinsic motivators in order to entice people to act.
Motivat ion
Relentless study and practice in how to create, hone, and manifest conceptual work.
Conceptual
The strategies adopted to change someone’s mind, or convince them of
something. Understanding how to examine and employ effective strategies based
on how the brain receives and interprets information.
Inf luence
I’m always working with clients to create compelling images that are emotionally resonant. Pictures are an extremely effective way to tell a brand story. As both Art Director and Photographer I have worked to create a bold aesthetic that serves the end goal, to communicate an intended message to the viewer.
Recent clients include:

I have worked in a creative team responsible for concepting, messaging, and designing for the OMSI brand. Our deliverables create OMSI’s visual presence that is on target with brand goals.
OMSI is a well-loved and firmly established brand. Our task has been to expand brand awareness to new audiences through print and digital marketing.
Within the team, my specialty is imagery and managing the overall aesthetic. I’ve produced an image catalogue that creates an emotional response in the viewer. Whether it’s for the membership campaign or the camps and classes catalogue, we’ve constantly straddled multiple projects, and doin’ it well.
I’ve worked extensively with internal and external clients. Through many conversations, I’ve extraced their needs and desires for a project and applied insight into how we can make it manifest in the most effective way.

Visual Communications
Our process is iterative and collaborative.
I’ve also scoped and ideated partnerships with other organizations. I’ve been challenged to find opportunities for in-kind exchanges through programming, events, and exhibits.

over the last 50 years, thousands of kids have grown up with memories of the summers they spent discovering science, exploring nature and making friends at oMSI Science Camps. oMSI, which is accredited through the American Camp Association, offers the most affordable, comprehensive science camp experience on the West Coast. Our camps, which take place in beautiful settings ranging from the mountains to the coast to the desert, offer the perfect combination of science, adventure and activity. Campers may sleep under the towering redwoods in California, raft a river in central Oregon, backpack through an alpine forest or search for whales in the San Juan Islands. Our camps offer hands-on educational activities — along with treasured traditions, including campfire songs, swimming holes and s’mores. They’re the perfect way to gain outdoor skills and develop an enthusiasm for lifelong learning, as well as curiosity and respect for the natural world.
Our caring, professional staff makes our camps a special experience for every camper. We typically provide one staff member for every seven campers, ensuring plenty of individual attention. Instructors are science educators with college degrees and experience in the natural sciences, field-study techniques and outdoor skills. They’re assisted by college- and high-school-age counselors who are dedicated to the emotional support of the campers and share their joy and exuberance in the camp experience and the natural world.
All OMSI overnight science camps are accredited by the American Camp Association.

Two SideSThe splash page is divided into two components: Food & Science. The default of the two is food, which has information about menu items etc. on the right side of the page is the “More Science This way Button.” when clicked, the site swipes to the left with a flash transition to the Theory Science page.
draFT PaPerThis background provides visual consistency throughout the site. it speaks to scientific theory and creativity. as the info box changes, they key elements of the site, i.e. buttons etc. remain stable. iMage VerSaTiliTy The main advantage of this approach is the versatility in images. Since there will be no overlapping elements the images can be anything from food to the architecture.
