Art Director Extraordinaire
Heather Herbert Skinner
About Heather
With well over a decade of experience as a working professional, I don’t feel that I’m bragging when I say I am good at what I do. I have pitched and sold main titles for major-network shows. I have crafted top-secret corporate presentations — seen only by high level executives. Having worked on hundreds of commercials, home entertainment campaigns, broadcast show packages, trailers, digital OOH signs and promos, I have seen this industry from all sides. Throughout my career I have developed a skill set that puts me at home in any situation. I know the right questions to ask and I can identify potential problems before they become issues. I am adept at deciphering and balancing a client’s wants and needs. Used to working within the freedom of a modern work space, I can as easily plug-in into an established team or run a project from concept to completion on my own. I take an active role in my work. So, I feel at home at all phases of the design process—from creative direction to production and I am consistent in providing technically accurate deliverables. I pride myself in employing substance over style and—most importantly—being easy to work with.

Testimonials
People say about meJason Beirfeld
Editor / Soapbox Films
Heather went above and beyond. The graphics, artistic design, and visual effects for the project were outstanding. This was a challenging project given rush deadlines, schedules, and unique vfx issues.. Heather is always a "blast" to work with, and she has amazing creativity and problem solving skills.

I worked for Heather for the ideas and style guides for ABC show “Day Break.” I found her to be very professional and thoughtful with her ideas, yet let me do my own creative thing. Heather is very creative and her directional skills played a vital role on this project. She's easy going and comfortable to work with and enjoyed working for her!
