Hello.

It’s probably not everyday you meet someone who was born in Thailand and raised in the heart of America. Add to that, a person with dual degrees in Communication Arts and Jewelry Design.

This is my story. I’m Varanee Griffith, a freelance art director and designer in Kansas City. I’ve spent more than twenty years working for various design firms and advertising agencies. From this experience, I developed the ability to design and manage projects from concept to completion. Today, I provide clients with senior-level experience in:

• Environmental and exhibit design
• Brand development and design
• Concept development
• Print design
• Direct mail design
• Brochures and collateral design
• Packaging design
• Direction of photo shoots
• Mobile application design
• Website design

My approach to art direction is to create beautiful work that actually works. I understand the need for advertising to sell. And while my designs are versatile and relevant for each client, I infuse a style that’s as unique as I am.
