My name is Keith Clark, and I’m an Art Director currently based in Arizona. I began my career as a Graphic Designer at Schawk Retail Marketing in Chicago, where I worked for five years. During my time there, I created print advertising for Sears and DirecTV, gaining valuable experience in advertising processes and eventually advancing to an Art Director role. A mentorship from a Creative Director was pivotal in developing my skills in providing effective art direction to my team.

After relocating to Arizona with my wife, I joined PetSmart’s in-house corporate office as a Graphic Designer. Over the next five years, I focused on print and digital advertising for the pet and retail service industries, which enhanced my skills in digital marketing.

Following my tenure at PetSmart, I worked as a Graphic Designer contractor at Massage Envy’s corporate office in Scottsdale. There, I designed print, digital materials, and trade show booths, gaining insights into brand building and differentiation in the therapeutic and retail service sectors.

I then took a brief hiatus to join Kahala Brands, where I designed print and digital advertising for the fast-food industry. Working with over ten fast-food franchises broadened my expertise in creating unique and distinguishing brand identities.

I returned to Massage Envy as a Senior Graphic Designer and, with dedication, advanced back to an Art Director role. My ongoing goal is to provide impactful visual art direction, continuously learn, and stay influenced by fellow designers and industry trends. I believe that creative influence is crucial for success in the ever-evolving design industry.
