Envision me, At 26, with a lively two-year track in the creative industry, and a lifetime of creative mischief behind it an enthusiastic art director from the eclectic San Francisco Bay Area, with a cherished affinity for the charm of Marin County, bending over my laptop as I blend creativity with practicality to fulfill the most imaginative ideas and strategic marketing objectives. With some experience under my belt, I have navigated through diverse terrains that include branding, web design, and both print and digital media. Currently, I'm refining my skills at Miami Ad School's art direction program, sailing past the halfway mark with an eye on pop culture and innovation.
Yet, there's a twist in the narrative! To me, creativity is more than a profession—it's a therapeutic escape, a ritual of rejuvenation - it's my version of self-care. When I'm not wielding my digital canvas, Off-duty, I'm often found embracing the art of the everyday: sipping on a multitude of teas as though it's an elixir of imagination, etching ideas onto any scrap of paper, creating/generating wonders of AI art and Motion with Debbie Hampton and on an eternal quest to find that one typeface that feels like it holds the secrets of design itself.
Open to freelance opportunities, though my preference is a full-time position.
Thanks for creeping into my book and considering me for your next creative adventure!
Warmly,
WHAT I’M CURRENTLY UP TO…

MORE ABOUT MEMeet Tim Goetze. I'm a creative force brimming with fresh perspectives. Splitting my roots between the vibrant streets of the San Francisco Bay Area and the serene mountains of Northern California, my distinctive "oomph" stems from this eclectic and diverse upbringing.
Grounded in experience yet invigorated with a contemporary approach, I have a proven track record of leveraging the power of visual narratives to unravel complex business problems. Believing fervently in the power of creativity to overcome even the most formidable business challenges, I try to craft work that is not only deeply rooted in brand and product truths, but also makes a lasting impact on culture, brand affinity, and sales metrics.
As a leader, I do everything I can to foster a naturally collaborative atmosphere, always conscious that the best work emerges from a team united by a shared mission and mutual respect --knowing how to have fun along the way, making the process as enjoyable as the outcomes. Not just a team player but a creative leader with an eye for detail and a penchant for innovative problem-solving. I strike for a balance between experience and novelty.

What you’ll learn
WHAT ABOUT OFF THE CLOCK?
-
Illustrator Or figma.
But Photoshop is my true love. -
Rather than settling for one genre, I've embarked on a personal quest to unearth the musical treasures of each continent and country, delving into their cultural soundscapes across generations. From 1970s African Funk to Korean psychedelic rock, 1940s Egyptian jazz to the vibrant beats of vintage Brazilian melodies.
My Diverse playlists weave through ALL genres — It's a perpetual, personal adventure that continuously enriches my auditory experience with the world’s vast rhythms and tunes and along the way, I get fully immersed in many different cultures. -
