About me
Creative Art Director, Graphic Designer, Coder...
Hi, my name is Jed Mander. I’m an accomplished and motivated Creative Art Director with a proven track record of creating impactful brand experiences in digital and print mediums. I’m proficient in creative thinking and problem-solving, marketing strategy, and providing design direction for teams in collaborative, fast-paced environments.
My professional experience includes time spent in agencies, as a freelance designer, and working at the corporate level. I started my career as an HTML coder and database programmer before moving into the design realm. As such, I am comfortable in both worlds, and can easily speak to the needs of both developers and designers. I pride myself on being a self-motivated leader known for creative problem-solving skills combined with a personable, approachable, and positive attitude.
