I’m Jennifer Mead, a creative director and art director with 13+ years of experience leading brand, web, and marketing design projects that blend strategy, creativity, and collaboration. I bridge design and business goals to help organizations connect with their audiences through meaningful, results-driven work. Whether I’m guiding a global team through change or partnering with clients on a major brand refresh, I focus on design that engages, empowers, and delivers.

With a background that spans brand identity, interaction design, and creative leadership, I’m committed to turning complex ideas into clear, compelling visual systems. I lead with empathy and strategy, adapting to evolving needs, mentoring creative teams, and collaborating across departments to align design with broader business goals.
I hold certifications from AIGA Design in innovation and creative collaboration. At Simpleview, I’ve guided organizations through everything from full rebrands to web platform transitions. I also helped lead our team through a company acquisition and global expansion, while implementing scalable workflows and mentoring over a dozen designers in tools like Figma and UX best practices.
Beyond client work, I care deeply about community and creative growth. I’ve hosted CreativeMornings/Tucson and served on boards including AIGA Arizona, Female StoryTellers, and Ad2Tucson. In all of these roles, I’ve championed inclusion, creative confidence, and connection across the industry.
