I’m Tessa, a freelance creative director and graphic designer based in NYC by way of Montana. I’ve been designing and a grown up yearbook nerd for 10 years and counting. I've strategized on brand identities and experiences, creative directed photoshoots, curated design systems, and all things between.
TIA SANTA MONICA CLINIC LAUNCH EVENTS
Tia opened their newest clinic on the West side in Santa Monica. I led art direction, design, and production for opening week festivities collateral. Which included a design system for billboards, matcha truck pop ups, welcome parties, hats, sweatshirts, floral bouquets, and more to bring excitement to a new market of patients.

TIA REBRAND
In early 2022, Tia’s creative team got to work seeking to evolve Tia's brand identity to reflect our "whole woman, whole life" mission. A new logo following a suite of brand pieces started off a new, ‘grown up’ Tia. Bringing forth new brand colors that are warm and earthy to help patients feel comfortable and calm in a normally not so calm setting. Curves of bodies in patterns and photography were really highlighted as well to continue to celebrate real bodies coming in all shapes and sizes. The team also wanted to bridge the connection of our scientific knowledge in our social presence with annotation styling and body scan patterns and continuing to showcase connection.

INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY CAMPAIGN
Led the team to explore how we could thoughtfully talk of the ‘triple threat’ facing women’s healthcare today, which includes a primary care shortage, mental health epidemic, and reproductive health crisis. No one company alone can do this, so we parntered with fellow changemakers for the 2023 International Women’s Day.
From creative direction to layout and production, I worked closely with our in house and contractors to create a Times Square billboard, social media campaigns for all participants social channels, blog articles, and content asset creation.

CLINIC MURAL
Mural creation & concept for Tia’s newest clinic location in Phoenix, Arizona.
The shapes take inspiration from Tia’s brand in combination with rocks from terrazzo. The rock, desert, and Phoenix skies bring direct inspiration to colors and shapes in the mural that welcome guests immediately upon coming into the clinic.
