art direction by emma goodman o'rourke
Just a little background...
Emma Goodman O’Rourke was a true Londoner, before moving to DC for her husband's political career in 2000. While gaining a degree at Central Saint Martin's College of Art, she won the prestigious Rimmel Creative Advertising Award which launched her career into advertising and art direction.
​
Goodman O'Rourke has enjoyed over 20 years of experience full time and now as a creative freelancer, she has art directed both in-house and off-site creating above and below-the-line ad campaigns, marketing materials and logos for leading brands in fashion, beauty, automotive, property, healthcare and food and beverage industries.​
​
Personable and a team player, Emma is as comfortable working from idea to conception, believing in the power of the idea. With the important ability to both write and draw before taking a concept to computer (using InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator). Taking more control of projects if desired, Goodman O'Rourke can organize photoshoots and work within budgets, with her breadth of experience and contacts in the media world.
Collaborative, communicative, motivational and interpersonal, with budget awareness and client savvy, Goodman O’Rourke is a dedicated creative that will meet deadlines, and always try to think out of the box (but can be creative within their boundaries if need be too ;)).
