Southern Starz Inc. | Wine Importer (2007-2019) | Huntington Beach, CA
As the Art Director at Southern Starz Inc., the premier wine importer of Southern Hemisphere wines in the United States, I successfully managed the graphics department for over 13 years, overseeing the artistic direction for a diverse portfolio featuring more than 20 esteemed international wine producers from Argentina, Australia, Chile, New Zealand, and South Africa.
Focus was on enhancing product visibility and communication strategies, driving significant market share growth across the U.S. through impactful brand identity development.
Building strong relationships was fundamental to our mission's success; I fostered collaboration with international wine vendors, government agencies, and suppliers to develop innovative solutions. Thriving in a fast-paced industry where margins for error are minimal, I prioritized efficiency and communication while working with cross-functional teams across the globe.
