Employee Spotlight: Sandi Swenson
Employee Spotlight: Sandi Swenson
Sandi Swenson knows how to make a difference. She’s been doing it from the start for Creatis -- a journey that has spanned over four years of partnership.
She first heard about Creatis through the professional grapevine - heard the name Creatis here and there throughout her career as a graphic designer in the Twin Cities. She also had a good friend who’d done an assignment through Creatis as well.
When she left her permanent design job in 2013 - where she’d worked for 8 years -- she was looking to shake things up and try other avenues of employment; beyond looking for another permanent position right away. Because of the great things she’d heard about Creatis, she decided to come in for an interview and get to know us.
Shortly after we interviewed Sandi and found her corporate brand, print and design skills to be a perfect match for the kinds of roles we fill, we landed her an assignment at our former client Blip Toys. She did such a fantastic job that we knew the partnership had a bright future, and worked to find Sandi another assignment. It was clear that Sandi was not only a proactive and talented designer, but also service-oriented and extremely personable. A great combination of traits!
Sandi really does exemplify the kind of Creatis employee who has success with many different clients because she’s flexible, focused on providing first-rate service, and delivers excellent work consistently.
Through the four years since her initial assignment at Blip Toys, she’s worked continually and exclusively for Creatis on teams at Optum and finally UnitedHealthcare, where she’s currently working. She works with a team of consultants and has to toggle between projects throughout the day to day. It’s a perfect fit for Sandi. “I love being part of a professional team and being treated as [a member of the UHC team]. I enjoy working in the healthcare industry and love working on designs for various pieces.” The type of work and clients has kept things exciting for her these past four years. “I really like the variety of contracts that I have had the opportunity to work. I’ve met so many new people in different companies,” Sandi said.
Her continued success and praise from each client has not gone unnoticed by us!
In 2018, we awarded Sandi the “Of Service” Core Value Award. Here she is with former Staffing Director (and current Relationship Manager) McKaela Baldus (above).
When not designing, Sandi has an 8th grader who keeps her plenty busy. She loves spending time with her family and scrapbooking.
We’re so glad to have Sandi on the Creatis team.
