Hi there!

My name is Tia. I’m a creative director and art director based in St. Louis, MO, and my passion is helping brands find their voice.

My professional journey started in the ‘90s, but you could say my path as an art director was cast much earlier. At 10 years of age, I designed my first logo for my grandmother’s doll business. There was something magical about seeing my art printed on her business card, and from that point on, I was hooked.

Whether leading teams or flying solo, I pour my heart into every project, always striving for a perfect balance of creativity and results. Though primarily an art director, when needed, I’ve worn the hats of writer, director, photographer, producer, set designer, wardrobe stylist, editor, animator, and even account executive in a pinch.

Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working with a variety of clients, building brands from healthcare to zoos. And I’m honored to have had my work recognized by the American Advertising Federation, Lürzer’s Archive, Print Magazine, David Ogilvy Awards, and the Emmys. However, my true measure of success is hearing a client say, “That’s it! That’s who we are!” when they see a concept that hits home.

When I’m not making the world better through branding, you’ll find me with my better half, Tony, spoiling my fur baby, Loca, or planning my next travel adventure.
