Hello,
I'm Chaz, a freelance Creative Director, Art Director and Designer currently based in sunny Los Angeles.
Formerly I held a position as Creative Director at Apple in Los Angeles where I helped to establish a full service creative department within Apple specifically geared towards its ever growing subscription services. There I worked across lines of business such as Apple Music, App Store, Apple Arcade, and eventually growing my own team of 25+ fully dedicated to Apple Pay, Apple Card and Apple Gift Card.
Before heading in house for Apple I worked in the creative department at Apple's advertising agency — TBWA's Media Arts Lab, where my colleagues and I were responsible for creating, pitching, and executing disruptive global ad campaigns like '30 years of Mac', launch campaigns for multiple iPhone versions, new products like Apple TV, as well as creative platforms such as 'Shot on iPhone'.
I was freelance for a few years in between those two jobs, doing both Design and Art Direction at big places like 72andSunny and MullenLowe, small places like boutique agency Death of Bad, as well as my own freelance clients. But before all of that, I cut my teeth as a young gun at Pereira&O'Dell in San Francisco, making interactive films that blur the line between content consumers and creators.
Past clients include:
Apple, Beats by Dre, Corona, Google, Infiniti, Intel, Netflix, Oculus by Facebook, Ring, Uber, and more.
