Alexis Staes

Dynamic professional with a proven track record in project management, creative direction, and satisfactory client experience. Through Amazon Web Services, I am an expert in concept development and cross-functional team leadership, successfully executing high-impact initiatives. Recognized for enhancing client engagement and achieving consistently high satisfactory ratings across industries. Through the Tatted Planner, I demonstrated exceptional leadership, vendor coordination, and strategic storytelling skills.

• Tailoring for Mother (Creative Director): Mother is known for its flat, collaborative culture, culturally provocative creative work, and preference for multi-talented people who defy traditional ad-industry molds. This resume was structured to lead with The Tatted Planner - It's the most directly 'creative direction' aligned role and demonstrates entrepreneurial ownership, which Mother values highly.
• Reframe AWS experience through a creative lens - Instead of technical jargon, the bullets emphasize storytelling, deck creation, event production, stakeholder presentations, brand positioning, and cross-functional creative leadership - all directly transferable.
• Include the styling roles - Anthropologie Weddings and Mejuri demonstrate aesthetic sensibility, client intimacy, and brand fluency - all relevant to a Creative Director at an agency.
• Add a 'Why Mother' section - This is optional but powerful for a creative role. It shows intentionality and voice. Remove if you prefer a more traditional format.
• Buzzwords woven in: creative direction, art direction, brand storytelling, concept development, ideation, cultural insight, cross-functional, end-to-end, immersive, narrative, brief, craft, brand voice, visual identity, experiential.

I come from an unconventional path - part technologist, part creative entrepreneur, part stylist. That intersection is exactly where the most interesting work lives. At AWS, I learned how to build narratives that move complex organizations. At The Tatted Planner, I learned how to build experiences that move people. I'm looking for a creative home that values brave thinking, cultural instinct, and the relentless craft it takes to make ideas real.
