the art director and her selected works
Hello
Nice to meet you!
I'm Tanya, an art director with a knack
for creating eye-catching stories.
My background in design for retail
and fashion equips me to handle diverse projects independently or collaboratively, with a strong ability
to give and receive direction.
While my portfolio mainly showcases design projects, I am a visual creator who aims to leave a good impression or bring something thoughtful for others.
Let some of my works do the talking...
4/
When life gives me lemons, I get creative.
Until a dream project rolls around, I’m usually just figuring out how to tackle any challenge by pushing myself to keep making work I can feel proud of with every
step forward.
These are some of the product sheets I had to photograph for (left) using only a small camera, shot in the office, without any additional equipment and then made them presentable.
I designed and hand-made a set of 50 pieces of this media kit.
In my role as creative team lead, I offered guidance and allowed my junior designer
to shine in crafting a web story highlighting a vintage glam-themed collection. The aim was to appeal to stylish young adults who appreciate classic aesthetics.
Bringing ideas to life beyond design excites me. It is fulfilling to see concepts materialize, see ideas translate into tangible outcomes.
For instance, in this project I had to play multiple roles, from ideating to approving the final booklet.
“Put your work
out there!
It’s a gift
to the world.”
