My name is Skyler Haines; Designer, Photographer, and Creative Strategist. With over a decade in the field, I am continuously expanding my craft of providing dynamic strategically focused creative solutions to respected businesses around the Pacific Northwest and beyond. I have cultivated a combination of strong business acumen paired with a diverse interdisciplinary portfolio of visual design and photography that align with my passion for crafting purposeful, powerful, and customer centric content and design that works.
My motivation lies in the challenge of exceeding employer and end user expectations. Collaborating with stakeholders, creative teams and industry professionals to deliver design collateral that propels web traffic, social media engagement, record response and customer acquisition results excites me. Leveraging my Bachelor’s Degree in business management and communications, I’m able to understand the analytical and business sides to design. By processing how target market research, current trends and competitor analysis impact my work, I’ve been uniquely successful at expanding revenue opportunities for my employers.
My complex background in design and photography includes both corporate and private environments as well as entrepreneurial ventures across a wide array of different mediums including web, print, pre-press and mobile. I studied design and photography while obtaining my Bachelors Degree and continue to stay up to date on current industry insights, programs, and processes including recent studies at the Seattle School of Visual Concepts. The creative world is constantly evolving and adapting, as am I.
My work focuses on a clean, modern, and intentional aesthetic. I have credible experience (including leadership) in environments catering to; brand identity, illustration, digital/traditional marketing, typography, photography, multi-media (videography), product mockups and automation. I excel in engineering new, more effective approaches to everyday obstacles that have proven to not only increase efficiencies, but establish new avenues of potential for my clients.
"I worked with Skyler during my time at T&A Supply. In addition to his talented design and technology skills, Skyler brought a unique level of professionalism and industry-leading experience when working with senior leadership, sales, creative designers and senior marketing strategists—he was very consultative, consistent and produced high-quality design assets for our digital marketing campaigns and product launches. In addition to this, he managed large workflows through several different project management tools. Skyler was also very good at multitasking and pivoting when timelines and priorities shifted. He worked on a wide-range of initiatives and faced some of the toughest challenges head-on and always created sharp, contemporary and on-brand designs; he also played a pivotal role in increasing T&A Supply’s digital footprint and online reputation. Skyler would be a great creative asset to any organization!"
