ART DIRECTOR
ABOUT ME
Milesandra.Arredondo@gmail.com
I'm an art director based in Brooklyn.
I spent almost a decade in editorial fashion, then moved into Public Relations and Brand Strategy — so I've been there when an image gets made and I understand why it matters to a business.
Now I take campaigns from concept to finished frame myself, through a custom AI pipeline. I direct the whole process the way a director briefs a photographer or an effects artist — every frame is mine, down to the last object and word. The tools are new; I'm still the one making every call.
I'm looking for an art director role in beauty, tech, or hospitality — at a studio, or in-house with a team figuring out where creative work goes next.
