Hi, I am Hamilton, an award-winning creative director with over a decade of experience. I bring a wealth of expertise to every project I undertake. As the Design Director at D Magazine Partners, I oversaw multiple redesigns of the monthly edition, maintaining brand aesthetic and working collaboratively with editors, sales teams, and marketing to ensure overall brand cohesiveness. As an Art Director at The Container Store, I art directed photo shoots for various promotional campaigns, collaborated with cross-functional teams, and developed cohesive creative direction for multiple channels. At Niche Media, I served as the sole art director for two luxury lifestyle magazines, managing designers and ensuring the entire art department met deadlines. With a proven track record of success in design and art direction, I am committed to delivering exceptional results that drive business success.
