After 10 years in corporate Graphic Design and Advertising, Creative Director Timothy Carvalho has ventured out on his own to start a freelance studio. With time spent at top local agencies including Virgen Advertising and R&R Partners, Tim has worked on a client base that stretches from commercial real estate and public utilities to consumer products, education, financial and legal institutions, gaming and hospitality, and health and beauty. While at his last agency, Tim started as the only designer and within 2 years grew an award winning creative department of five full-time staff members and several freelancers. He and his team won new clients to the agency, tripled creative billings, and increased the quality of creative work offered to clients. His approach is to collaborate with the Account and Creative teams to provide clients with on-target creative strategy, copywriting, art direction and design for ad campaigns, conceptual pitches, branding/identity development, web interactive and print collateral projects. His experience leading multi-disciplinary creative teams brings concepts to life, and Tim firmly believes that the true “art” of advertising is meeting the needs of the client by effectively communicating with the target audience.
