Janelle Rodrigues, Creative Lead, Creature
At Creature, collaboration runs deep, and we’re lucky to work with clients who understand that the best solutions are arrived at, together. I am the creative lead at our studio, working across brand strategy, visual identity, content creation and campaigns.
I have what can only be described as an eclectic range of creative influences. I’m curious about all sorts of things. So I love the wide range of sectors we work in – boutique food and beverage, property development, infrastructure, hospitality and Not for Profits.
Creature works with brands that want to make their presence felt. Each has a story – and it’s my job to find the insights and the emotional connection points inside that story to develop a strong creative idea. I then work to develop that idea into multi-channel experiences.
As ‘creative company’, we look to design distinctive, beautifully brazen and crafted solutions that drive real change and initiate conversations.
