About

Leveraging Adobe Creative Cloud, I have created everything from desktop and mobile websites, to video with custom motion graphics, annual reports, POP, packaging, brochures, trade show booths, advertising in print and online, and more. I am currently the Digital Designer at AldenMC working directly with agency creative director specializing in Biotech and Life Sciences where we concept and design websites full time. Before that I had a rewarding Freelance clientele through Creative Circle. At IPS/ChiroTouch, I created Digital Design content on a daily basis from video, animation, and online advertising to email templates, trade show/experiential displays and print. Previously at Mentus, we have had the privilege to have worked with Fortune 100 companies as well as launch companies with a wide range of offerings. I am an artist with a degree in journalism, which facilitates headline, body copy and creative platform copywriting as needed. Before Mentus, I was Art Director at advertising agency DiZinno Thompson working directly on the Padres, UCSD Healthcare and Las Vegas Hilton accounts. And before that, with KPBS public television and radio where I created advertising campaigns and video design elements earning two Emmy Awards directly for my designs. I am a big believer in team building and lifelong learning. I am eager to share my years of knowledge and insights, as well as gain new insights from others. I have a passion to win and grow agency accounts. I have effective and congenial in-person presentation skills. And I always strive to build strong, contemporary artwork that is based on strategy to create loyalty and CTA for the brands I represent in the marketplace. Please review the work on this site to see some of the projects I have spearheaded or participated in over the years in order to provide a clearer picture of my experience in leading marquee projects from initial concept to final completion. I look forward to meeting with you and expanding on my qualifications, experience and passion to build brand loyalty for your business and clients. Tom Okerlund / Digital Designer
