    H E L L O !

    Hi There! My name is Tasha Van Zandt. I am a globally minded, multifaceted creator of innovative design with an unrivaled passion for conceptualizing, developing and delivering powerful strategic visual solutions. I am dedicated to holistically blending the practices of design strategy, technology and art direction in order to create meaningful brand engagement experiences and engage people in new and groundbreaking ways. 

    I believe that deep cultural understanding inspires the most effective design. I have extensive international experience working, living and managing programs throughout over 25 countries. It is my goal to produce transformative visual communications in order to build cultural bridges that lead to better global understanding.

    STRENGTHS :
    Creative Strategy  |  Art Direction |  Design  |  Ideation  |  Project Management  |  Team Leadership 

     It has been my long-term aspiration to become apart of the Olson team. I believe that my multifaceted background in the arts and management would be a strong fit within Olson's holistic and innovative community. It would be an honor to present you some of my recent work. You can find samples of my work here and some more fun that might interest you here on my blog.

    Working with you would be a dream, and I would love if you considered teaming up in the future. 

    Thank you for your time and have a wonderful day!
