About Naomi Azuma
I value inspirational creativity and aesthetic harmony. I believe that a successful marketing endeavor is not only about visual and verbal output but also the strategic input. I thrive in supportive, grounded, collaborative environments where I can invest and immerse myself into projects. I appreciate when given ample time and mental space to explore. As a result, I am known to challenge myself and others to not settle for what is easiest but to strive to always try and make the creative better. I succeed in this endeavor by providing thoughtful feedback and mentorship to my teams. I choose projects where I can activate big picture, 360 thinking in fashion / beauty / lifestyle branding. My vision is best used toward brand and seasonal marketing, category concepting and story telling through photo and video Areas of Expertise Executive Creative Leadership | Creative Direction | Brand Storytelling | Strategic Planning | Brand Identity | Creative Concepts | Communication | Presentations | Video Direction | Content Creation | Art Direction | Graphic Design | Team Building | Collaborative Leadership | Relationship Building | Adobe Creative Suite
