Anne Secor

After spending several years in Canada raising my family, I returned to New York in 2022. As a result, I am in the process of reestablishing my career and embracing new opportunities, a journey that involves reintroducing myself to the industry with renewed expectations.

With substantial experience as an Art Director and Designer for well-known companies in New York City, I have a strong track record of leading complex digital and print projects.

In my recent role at New York Life Insurance, I oversaw the creative development of multi-component campaigns while managing a team of designers and handling up to 40 projects at once. I would welcome the opportunity to securely share over Zoom or in person, the work portfolio I built while working in my art director role at New York Life Insurance.

Earlier, as a Senior Graphic Designer through Upwork, I achieved a 100% job success rate (based on customer reviews of 300+ contracts) by prioritizing client relationships and translating marketing goals into innovative digital and print designs. My focus on collaboration, client feedback, and project revisions consistently resulted in high-quality deliverables. 

Additionally, in my retail and editorial roles, I worked closely with C-suite executives to lead cross-functional teams in developing compelling campaigns for brands like Macy’s, Saks Fifth Avenue, J.CREW, and Estée Lauder. I also founded and directed the digital studio at Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, overseeing the daily product photography for four online stores.

My background as an Art Director, Senior Graphic Designer, and design leader has honed my ability to manage complex projects, foster collaboration, and deliver impactful visual solutions across print and digital platforms. Whether driving creative strategies for Fortune 500 companies or building trusted client relationships, and am excited to leverage this expertise to create compelling designs that align with organizational goals and leave a great impression.
