New (to You) Faces at JD

So much of our work at JD is handled with clients all over the U.S. Conference calls, web conferencing, emails and cloud-based communications are our primary methods of keeping in touch with clients. The reality is, aggressive deadlines, jam-packed schedules and team members dispersed in various markets makes it near impossible to gather face-to-face for meetings.

That said, we’d like to formally introduce you to a couple of our creative team members you may have not had the chance to meet yet in person. Both Liza and Nick joined the JD graphic design and digital teams in 2013.

At the core of Liza’s role at JD is translating her comprehensive understanding of interactive design into pleasurable end-user experiences, no matter what the digital deliverable is.

He is involved in the creative process from start to finish, where he designs everything from packaging and identities to strategic branding, advertising campaigns and digital experiences.

Clients’ demands for multichannel marketing that nurture improved user experiences and beautiful graphics that attract consumers’ interest have made Liza and Nicholas’s roles even more critical in strategizing and conceptualizing truly integrated campaigns that meet consumer and client expectations.

We are excited to have Liza and Nicholas aboard and hope you have the opportunity to meet them in person in the near future.
