Who am I?

 
 

ALEC CREIGHTON

As a longtime designer, I have cut my teeth on projects big and small, working alongside talented designers and for wonderful clients. My goal, above all else, is to use my talents to be a genuine help to those who hire me, and to provide clean, honest work wherever I may be.

I work hard, take what I do seriously, and am confident in my ability to help you stand out.

 
 
 

experience

O’Reilly Media - Graphic Designer
February 2019 - October 2024

At O’Reilly, I managed and developed a wide variety of projects, from massive live event visuals to micro ad campaigns. While developing concepts and campaigns from brainstorming to execution, I also helped on branding special events and platform features. Outside of my responsibilities in marketing, I also worked on the print mechanicals for several book series, event graphics for the live events platform, and support for our sales initiatives. Besides design, I helped with file management, licensing issues, and became the go-to designer for internal audits of assets and campaigns.

Gallery Smoke - Graphic & Web Designer

Developed a full rebranding for a regional brick & mortar business, from the creation of logos to a fully functional online store. Other responsibilities included photographing inventory, handling online customer service requests, working with store managers to implement new company infrastructure, providing staff with digital assets, and more.

Created with the hope of founding a design cooperative in Savannah, GA, passel.design was formed by a team of 3 unique skill sets. Our goal was to create a service that would work to allow for flourishing designers and creative professionals in the region to get real world experience, without a major time commitment, with the assistance of an experienced team. As the founder with graphic design experience, I handled all branding and print related work, assisted on web design and UX projects, as well as managed client relations.

Freedman Marketing Technologies - Senior Designer

In charge of the creation of print media, both internal and for our clients, interfacing with multiple print services, and creating marketing content ranging from business cards to billboards. Digital responsibilities ranged from the creation of multiple websites and web content, to designing and creating several app prototypes for our coding team. This would also involve working with the coding team to insure the prototype is followed accurately and will be able to compete visually with possible competitors. On top of my design responsibilities, I also provided direction on the integration of workflow and customer service systems to allow for more efficient and manageable day-to-day operations.
