GREG
FRANCENDESE
Design Director | Graphic Designer | Animator

With over 10 years experience as a multidisciplinary Design Director leading creative with agencies and clients, I have expertise translating complex ideas into compelling visual experiences—from Times Square billboards and national events to integrated marketing campaigns and corporate branding systems. I lead creative teams & vendors, managing multiple high-priority work streams, while collaborating with executive teams to deliver successful creative. As a leader, I pride myself in learning and leveraging my team member's individual strengths to exceed creative goals.
My creative perspective is further shaped by entrepreneurial experience in independent work with Glass Staircase and my creation of an original collection of neighborhood artwork featured by Chicago retailers. This independent work strengthens my ability to build distinctive visual identities, connect with target audiences, and understand the financial perspective to successful creative work.
