CREATIVE DIRECTOR
HEAD OF DESIGN

Sally heads the Design practice at Dauntless Creative. She brings extensive expertise in art direction and graphic design developed over years of work in traditional print, digital print and collateral, content strategy and UX design, web design and content development for digital platforms.

Sally has moved with the evolution of design, building vision and skills in tandem with the development of new technologies and practices. She draws on the fundamentals of classic design, expanding the application of the disciplines of art direction and graphic design to the audience experience. She applies her creative vision and skill sets across the full array of visual communication in print, video, physical environments, and digital platforms, including custom website design.

She integrates her design and brand expertise with communications and marketing strategies in the development of visual identity for new companies and brands in transition, Sales and Marketing instruction and tools, strategic planning platforms, and brand, products, and services integration. She creates content and campaigns for social media, traditional and digital collateral, ad campaigns, new product introductions, and PR campaigns and publicity, and live event design and production.

Prior to Dauntless, Sally had the privilege of collaborating with many talented and insightful creatives throughout her career – early on as an art director at Warner+Associates in San Diego, and later in Los Angeles, heading the creative team for design innovators Jerry Rothstein and Rick Memsic of Rothstein & Memsic, specializing in corporate annual reports and collateral. She later teamed with her friend and mentor, Neil Komai of Komai Design, on many lighting industry projects over 20+ years.

WHY DAUNTLESS?

As the son of a naval officer, who in his early career was catapulted off aircraft carriers in the venerable Grumman S2 sub hunters, I was always an aviation freak, particularly about military planes and their storied pasts.

The Douglas SBD Dauntless, a WWII US Navy dive-bomber, always fascinated me, as did the naval aviators who flew them. The Dauntless saw action across the Pacific in battles from the Coral Sea to Midway through its last major engagement in the Battle of the Philippine Sea.

The plane represented a rather capable fusion of human spirit and design innovation, with its signature “Swiss cheese” dive brakes helping make it a devastatingly effective platform. Dauntless squadrons were renown for their ability to get the job done under incredibly challenging circumstances. They would first fend off attacks from fighters on the way in, then dive through waves of anti-aircraft fire from ships below to place their bombs with pinpoint accuracy, pulling out of near vertical dives at the last critical moment.

These planes and the men who flew them were fierce, focused and reliable. For me personally, I couldn’t think of a more fitting expression of the attributes we value in the production business and of my belief in the power of good creative solutions for clients.

Dauntless squadrons were renown for their ability to get the job done under incredibly challenging circumstances.
