D2iQ

D2iQ is at the forefront of the Kubernetes open-source platform world. It is one of today’s most significant leaders of enterprise-grade cloud platforms that enables large organizations like BMW, Northrop Grumman, and the United States Air Force, to name a few, to modernize, innovate, and achieve agility by deploying an open-source, cloud-native, intelligent Kubernetes infrastructure.

At D2iQ, I serve as the hands-on Creative Director for the Marketing Dept., where my creative vision combined with creative strategies give way to a whole host of creative projects I manage on a day-to-day basis. The projects I work on include all Marketing Design and Brand Design, which also include all Events Marketing, Brand Marketing, Corporate Marketing, and Product Marketing. My work runs across many departments, I collaborate with the Marketing, Sales Enablement, Human Resources, and Product Design.

I know that the role of a creative director is pivotal because it has the power to influence and communicate the status of a company through its visual design. My creative design role at D2iQ is to guide the creative process with specific visual elements of every design project I manage, like the layout, typography, and photography. My projects are responsible for developing all marketing materials, like advertising campaigns, branding initiatives, and other creative assets. As a creative director, I work closely with copywriters, web developers, project managers, and other creatives to ensure a cohesive brand experience and the creative direction is of the utmost highest quality standards and meets the brand guidelines and industry best practices. As a creative director, I review and approve the final deliverables before the client or public release.

Under my leadership role, I motivate and inspire my team to achieve their best work by fostering a sense of community which is reflected in my internal design work when I design swag and zoom backgrounds for the team at D2iQ. My daily functions involve a balance of creative thinking, leadership, project management, and collaboration to ensure that projects align with D2iQ’s goals and resonate with the target audience. Ultimately, being a Creative Director at D2iQ plays a crucial role in bringing new ideas to life and delivering impactful solutions to the overall business objectives of D2iQ to ensure that the company stays relevant and up-to-date with industry trends and techniques to keep moving forward as a leading provider in the world of Kubernetes.
