As the Art Director for the Designer Series Games at Avalon Hill, I led the brand's reintroduction to the modern board game industry. My role involves collaborating with top-tier designers and illustrators while fostering strategic partnerships with a network of artists and influencers. I am responsible for overseeing the visual tone of the packaging, e-commerce platforms, instructional videos, marketing materials, and event assets.
