SusannA Eve Dominguez

ART DIRECTOR

Since graduating college she’s pursued commercial design and marketing for Design Studios, Advertising Agencies, News Publications, Marketing Firms, a Brewery, and the Fashion Industry.

She designed for Words and Pictures Creative Service Inc., working on a variety of ad campaigns, (one of which won her an award from the Art Directors Club of New Jersey for Sony Electronics.) Upon discovering the foothills of Colorado, she became the Art Director for the Rocky Mountain Bullhorn, and The Chronicle, both visually dynamic Fort Collins alternative news weeklies.

In 2008, she was hired as Art Director for A-Train Marketing Communications Inc. During her time there, her concept development and designs helped the firm win a Davey Award for The Northern Colorado AIDS Project, and 3 gold and silver Communicator Awards for McKee Medical Center, The Washouse ad campaign, and an A-Train self-promotion booklet.

These experiences helped to kick start the 2011 creation of Calvin Pepper Creative Damage, a company built in collaboration with other artists, offering collective services in video, photography and design; a self-proclaimed “art department without the agency.” While maintaining some corporate accounts, this avenue provided more opportunities to work with clients in the music industry and build connections with other entrepreneurs focused on doing what they love for a living.

She next accepted an opportunity to join in on the creative department at New Belgium Brewing in 2012 because the company’s values and core beliefs resonated with her own.

These skills were instrumental in the aesthetic arm of marketing for the production of an independent movie titled Whensday. Susanna branded the commercial identity of the film in areas of title naming, logo design, packaging, billboards, movie posters, merchandise and apparel items.

After spending a decade in Colorado, she returned to the east coast in 2015 and currently resides in Brooklyn. Because creativity is reawakened in new environments, she’s traded the mountain landscape for the view from a skyscraper, working as the Design Development Director at Bespoke Fashion on Madison Avenue.  

*And in 2015, was awarded a Gold Medal in Label Design from the Great American Spirits Festival for her artwork and package design for Feisty Spitits' Better Days Bourbon.

She’s not sure what’s next, but finds comedy in the fact this biography has been written in the third person.
