Hey there, I’m Conal. As the daughter of two advertising creatives, I learned from a young age to value the creative process and how a strong brand can inspire greatness. My twenties got me a degree in Sociology, a year living and working in Thailand, experience in the non-profit, and an insight into the human condition that solidified my desire to use art to impact and communicate with people.
After attending The Chicago Portfolio School, I began my career as an Art Director at Chicago's Arc (Publicis Groupe), and upon moving to Dallas, I continued with the Groupe at Publicis Dallas. Those years had me gaining experience on accounts that spanned consumer goods, to pest control and lawn care, to pharmaceuticals.
Switching gears, I made the move to boutique restaurant design firm, Plan B Group where I would lead the branding department. Through strategy, the development of brand DNA, and imaginative creative, we would help color the hospitality landscape and enrich guest experience.
These days, I’m an ACD Art Director at Hawkeye, where I’m working on full funnel creative for the USAA account.
When I’m not working, I can be found out on a run, boy-momming my 3 and 6 year olds, home-improving, or day dreaming about learning to sculpt pottery (one day!)
