LAUREN BRYDEN

908-***-**** adgxi0@r.postjobfree.com behance.net/LBryden CREATIVE DIRECTOR

JAN 2018 - MAR 2020 • Real Vision New York, NY

Creative Director of Real Vision’s brand and head of the Design department. Was charged with digesting and internalizing the founders’ vision, crafting a brand and culture that communicated the voice and spirit of the mission, hired and ran a full-time 10-person creative team that spanned different countries and permeated many mediums (graphic design, motion graphics, publication design, et.al), creating many additional brand guides for shows, products & campaigns, then evolving the brand and visuals as the company learned, grew and developed new facets. Not to mention, of course, held on for dear life through all of the wild turns and all-nighters that come with startup culture. Note: I was and will always be incredibly proud

of and passionate about this brand. I took Real

Vision’s mission deeply to heart. Discovering the

brand’s soul, bringing it to life, watching my team grow empowered as they evolved with the brand

was my life. My team and myself did everything

we could to contribute to this company as it grew

from a small idea in a WeWork to an educational

powerhouse standing on it’s own legs in Midtown

Manhattan. I learned invaluable life lessons

with (and from) the staff. Losing my role as the

company braced itself to survive the trauma of

2020 was a severe heartbreak. I hope to find

that same passion moving forward into all of my

future endeavors.
