Raffel Creative is the natural extension of my comprehensive background with major fashion, beauty, interior design, real estate and home goods brands including Stanley Korshak, Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf Goodman, Mary Kay, Norwex and the Horchow Collection. I have both hands-on and management experience in literally every part of the creative process, from initial concept to final production. I’ve also worked across multiple channels, including retail, direct selling, digital and business to business.
Key strengths include the ability to execute a strong, goal-oriented vision; optimize the efficiency of creative/photography teams; and negotiate and manage a marketing/project budget. I’m also a seasoned art/photo director and copywriter (advertising and editorial).
