About

I am a strategic Creative Director with 15 yrs of experience. I help brands translate their voice and value into stunning visuals. My forte is branding and marketing digital-first companies. I have led a multidisciplinary team of creatives helping impact businesses through creative executions in branding and digital marketing channels like web, email, display, social, landing pages and enablement materials including content campaigns, pitch/sales decks, case studies, testimonials, and sub branding events. I have worked both in-house for tech companies and freelance/contract as a creative director with agencies and directly with large businesses. As the Creative Director at InVision, I have developed and led the visual brand for the past 8 years. I have strong leadership experience in building and managing creative design teams to function seamlessly in a remote environment. Growing the brand to a $100M ARR business, and serving 100% of the Fortune 100 with 7 million users around the globe. I love design. Plain and simple. It’s my career and my passion. I take pride in the work I create and the team I direct to make it happen. I strive for the highest quality design in every project and I care deeply about the team that made it. https://www.behance.net/aaronstump https://savee.it/aaronstump/boards/sample-of-work/ Full case study portfolio available upon request.
