About Harper Graf

You know that coworker relentlessly lint-rolling dog fur off her blouse in-between meetings? Yeah, that\'s me. Nice to meet you! While my dog\'s fur might have fantastic reach, my strategy reaches a bit farther than the clean laundry pile – and luckily for you, there\'s no dander involved.As an Account Professional and Creative Strategist, I work with clients from various industries to create and implement full-service campaigns that generate impact and value. I have a history of collaborating with people from diverse backgrounds and cultures, which has enriched my communication and relationship-building skills. A recent graduate of the Advertising Master\'s program at The University of Texas at Austin, I mentored with world-class professors and learn from the highest rated advertising program in the nation. My education has also included a strong foundation in Anthropology, which allows me to better understand different demographics and values. I am passionate about lifelong learning, servant leadership, and human rights – leading me to constantly seek opportunities to orient my work to serve the greater community.
