language • I am a citizen of France and the United States • I am legally blind in my right eye • When I was little I was obsessed with Snow White and would wear the costume to school.

This trait was heightened after working with Amy Sedaris • I am horrible at math • I am mildly obsessed with the NY Times crossword puzzle, even though I can only make it to Wednesday • I was one of those suckers who waited 24 hours for the first iPhone, however can safely say it was one of the coolest experiences I’ve had • I like making friends with strangers,


OBJECTIVE
To be an Art Director at CPB and work my hardest to deliver
the best creative my brain has to offer.

I have worked at Crispin for one year now, in the interactive


studio. In one year, I have not only been able to learn a great
deal about the interactive world, but have been lucky enough
to integrate my newfound knowledge with traditional media.

In August, I was given an opportunity to be on a brief for


Volkswagen’s Sign Then Drive. I asked to be paired with
a partner. Instead of just tackling the interactive angle, I
wanted to concept for TV, newsprint, and alternate ambient
media. After all my studio work was complete for the day, I
was able to concept, comp, sketch—do the job that studio so
graciously prepared me for. Our work was bought by the client
and before I knew it, I was off to LA for the most exhilerating
learning experience I think I’ve ever had.

I feel as though the experiences and opportunities I’ve had


here in the last year have prepared me to be an Art Director
at Crispin. All I need is a chance. And if I get it, I assure you
I will not disappoint.
EDUCATION
Carnegie Mellon University

Strangely good at science and genetically


programmed to fail at math. Involved in
anything art + design related; played the
french horn in band which guaranteed
me a maximum of 3 friends, and played
lacrosse which made me feel like less of
an art / band nerd. Oh and I got a diploma
which is currently collecting dust in my
parents’ basement.

Routan Pre-Sell
Client: Volkswagen

CD: Andrew Keller


Interactive CD: Jeff Benjamin
ACD: Carl Corbitt
Art Directors: Jessica Rosenberg + Nuno Ferreira
Designer: Jessica Rosenberg
Since the Routan isn’t a typical minivan,
this microsite lets you select and customize
your family members. Choose from the
characters displayed, and toggle between
hair color, style, skin tones, etc. When
done, print out your family as a portrait
or as stickers to put on the back of your
new VW.
For Routan’s pre-sell campaign with
UPromise, the main idea was that you
can simultaneously learn about the new
Routan while learning how to speak
German. If you bought a Routan early,
you would receive $1,500 towards your
child’s college tuition. Created a direct
mail piece where you can actually punch
out the flashcards.
LOGOS
The following are various logos I designed.
Designed a branding and identity system
for Wyndham Hotels. Each logo varies
by color and typeface, pertaining to the
character of each hotel.

PARTY CRASHING
Out of boredom and questionable insanity, I
decided to crash black tie affairs in Pittsburgh
(when I was in school). I showed up wearing
black, carrying a tri-pod and was good to go.
