Marlene Leibowitz
CREATIVE DIRECTOR

About

For over 20 years, I’ve had the privilege of building a career in something I’m passionate about.

My journey has taken me from an entry-level Graphic Designer to a Creative Director, where I now conceptualize and manage both digital and print projects. Throughout my career, I’ve prided myself on being a hands-on leader, staying deeply involved in the craft while demonstrating exceptional organizational and time management skills.

I lead and inspire a dynamic team of in-house and freelance designers, production artists, retouchers, photographers, videographers, and copywriters. I empower them to leverage their unique talents, consistently delivering high-quality results within budget and on schedule.

My expertise spans both print—where I understand color settings and pre-press intricacies—and the ever-evolving world of digital media. I’ve directed numerous photo shoots and video projects, both in-studio and on-location, using storytelling to engage audiences and meet marketing objectives. These projects demand strong coordination and collaboration with professionals across various disciplines to bring the vision to life.
