Bartlett Creative is a design studio that focuses on branding, art direction and photography. We specialize in creating beautiful brands, designing beautiful websites and taking beautiful photos. With over thirteen years of experience, we merge design expertise with extensive marketing knowledge to create unique and timeless brand solutions for every business.

I am the owner and CEO of Bartlett Creative. Running a successful business requires innovation, organization and focus. I manage admin, billing, accounting, project management, being on time and on budget, client meetings, sending estimates out, all creative work and communication with hired vendors, staffing needs and interviews, and all necessary design, art and creative direction. I focus on branding, art direction, websites and photography, however my expertise extends beyond that. I have helped clients with production, RFPs, OOH, campaign development, digital marketing, website designs from the ground up, website re-designs, interactive user platforms, UX/UI work for apps, social media content and planning. I have also helped clients with copywriting, tagline exploration, video editing and storytelling, catalog design and layout, international campaign launches, brand voice and messaging, brand audits, marketing print design and brand identities. I have worked with many types of clients through direct partnership. I also directly worked with other creative agencies in-house and serve as a contractor and help support RFP’s and pitch work.

Spin was a small agency, so I wore many different hats. I served as the lead creative designer on select clients and projects and served as the art director managing a team of six-plus people including a production artist, copywriters, junior designers, mid-level designers and other various contracted freelancers including photographers and videographers. I worked on national and local campaign projects creating and pitching art direction to the internal team and stakeholders. I was heavily involved in multiple successful RFPs acting as the senior designer, art director and video editor. I presented work to clients alongside the account team ensuring the vision and design expertise was correctly delivered to the client. I worked with Video Production teams and chose music and VO talent to create commercial quality video assets for international clients. Further, I did a lot of digital work including website design, social media design and digital campaign work. I also was the in-house photographer creating and capturing photos needed for our website, any advertising needs for internal purposes and other Spin marketing needs.
