Zac Smith

DESIGNER | ILLUSTRATOR | ROCK CLIMBER | CAT DAD

I am a designer located in Minneapolis, MN where I have spent the last few years working for agencies like CCF and Oliver. I have done everything from design and build out ad banners for MNsure Insurance to coordinate and build E-commerce content for 3M. I am a versatile designer who can create for print or build web-related content for clients. My goal as a creative is to be given a problem and have a solution that fits the needs of the client and the consumer.

 

About me

I worked at CCF for a year and a half and learned how to create a wide variety of advertising products ranging from Out of Home Billboards to HTML5 ad banners. I learned that the work that goes into designing and producing an entire ad campaign is complex. I want to continue to learn more about the advertising industry and believe that I could do that with you or your agency. My goals include pushing myself to improve as a creative as well as understanding the connection between design and advertisement.

I attended the University of Wisconsin-Stout where I earned a degree in Graphic Design and Interactive Media. During and after college, I produced several designs for businesses as a freelancer which are still being utilized today. I have been fortunate enough to travel and have embraced photography as a way to capture the world around me. I revisit my photos and see each one of them as a means of inspiration for future work. Everything has a place in this world from architecture to signage for a store. I want to look at something and ask myself, “How did they make that and what could I do to make it better?” I hope to find a way to translate what I see into my work as a creative. Let’s work together!
