In Experience Design, an Art Director is responsible for the overall look and feel of a product, guiding the visual aesthetics, style, and language, while ensuring an engaging and attractive user experience.
Outside of Experience Design, we make final decisions on which artistic elements to use in movies, books, magazines, video games, ad campaigns, fashion, packaging, and more.

Art Directors have many skills, which are often juggled depending upon the project:
I designed Clowder9 back in 2020 as a way to showcase my web design, Art Direction, and UI design skills. The site has two unique themes; minimal, and retro. Let me know what your favourite theme is.
