Jordan Sears

Senior Designer

Wilmington, NC

ABOUT:

I graduated from the Art Institute of Raleigh-Durham in 2013 with a BS in Graphic Design and jumped straight into a high-paced agency with a steep learning curve. I learned to manage a variety of projects and work with clients and other stakeholders to bring campaigns to life, and I have continued to develop those skills throughout my career.

I’ve worked on marketing campaigns, company branding, website design, software UI, and much more. I also frequently create social media and “explainer” video animations in After Effects.

I primarily work in XD, Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, and After Effects. I can also use many other programs and platforms such as Sketch, Invision, Wordpress, and am quick to pick up new software as needed.

I can fit my workflow into a collaborative team environment or take a project from concept to completion all on my own. My time at marketing agencies taught me to combine creativity and marketing and to utilize the many digital tools available for effective and innovative campaigns.

My work at Method Savvy was primarily with SaaS companies and other online sales-focused clients, and my current role is primarily in healthcare and biotech.
