Design Director @ Kinship
Evangeline Joo
ABOUT:
I'm a Design Director with 13+ years shaping creative vision for brands large and small. From my experience in-house and agency-side, every brief starts the same way: understand the brand deeply, then execute with pace and consistency across every channel (digital, print, and beyond).
For the past 5+ years, I've led and mentored creative teams, uniting designers and copywriters into a single, high-functioning unit. My job is to protect the craft while raising the ceiling, finding smarter ways to work as the tools around us evolve.
In my spare time, I stay true to my roots as an illustrator and artist. Catch me at a figure drawing session in SF, meandering through SFMOMA, or absorbing a Turrell skyspace.
