An artist at heart, our Director of Brand Experience Cynthia balances analytical and creative thinking to create integrated brand experiences for our clients.

A fact she passes on to her students whenever she teaches workshops or classes on design. Cynthia is always a joy to be around and makes everyone laugh. If you're ever looking for a good time, or someone to have brunch with, look no further than Cynthia.

In a city full of transplants, Cynthia is one of those rare born-and-raised native Houstonians. With a degree in Graphic Communications from the University of Houston, she's won about every creative award possible – lots of ADDY awards, local, regional and national award for Miramax's "Frida" movie, a Promax Award for B2B marketing materials for The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers movie, plus numerous Lantern, Crystal, W3, and WebAwards for marketing materials/campaigns and web sites.
