Margaret Meade

I am a creative leader and graphic designer with over a decade of experience in design management, branding, and visual communications, currently serving as Creative Manager at Vertex Education, a role I have held since January 2024, where I lead creative initiatives and drive design strategy in a hybrid capacity in Chandler, Arizona. In this role, I serve as a change champion, coach, and creative leader, guiding teams to deliver high-impact design solutions. Prior to this role, I served as Graphic Design Manager at Bar Napkin Productions for over a year, where I managed graphic design projects and teams, and as Graphic Designer at the same organization for over a year, where I developed my foundation in design and marketing. I also spent over six years as a Graphic Designer at Corbin Design in Traverse City, Michigan, where I honed my skills in project management, coaching, and design execution. Across my career in creative leadership and graphic design, my work has been driven by a passion for visual storytelling, brand development, and creating meaningful design experiences. Whether I am leading creative teams, managing design projects, or crafting visual identities, I bring a collaborative mindset, strong technical skills, and a dedication to excellence that elevates brands and inspires audiences. I am proud of the work I have done throughout my career and excited to continue leading creative innovation and design excellence at Vertex Education.
