Aleks & Creatis Studio
Aleks has spent the last five years as a major difference maker for the Creatis team, excellently serving our clients while developing in her career.
In 2015 the freelance design work she was doing for Target came to a halt, so she started exploring other career opportunities in the Twin Cities. Aleks had a connection with our former studio director, and it so happened that we had an opening on our in-house Studio team at the same time she was looking for work. As soon as we hired her, we knew the partnership would be special.
There are so many positive things you could say about Aleks as an employee, but one that sticks out is her committment to excellence. Her primary passions are art and design, and it shows through every detail of the projects she works on. A true creative - Aleks won't rest until both she and the client are satisfied with the final product. She's capable of interpreting what a client wants and needs, while injecting her own strong sense of style into the designs as well.
The work she did in our studio grew more complex over the years, and she began taking on most of the creative design projects our clients needed done. Our President/CEO took notice of Aleks design skillset and work ethic, and worked with Aleks on redesigning the Creatis brand identity. We still use the designs from her work everyday in our internal and external branding!

Aleks & Cargill
When a long-term creative design role opened at our client Cargill in summer of 2018, we decided - in consulting with Aleks - that it would be a fantastic way for her to utilize more of her creative & art direction skills while serving our client. She was able to make an immediate difference on her team. She's helping to jumpstart a branding refresh project, develop fresh designs, collaborate with an important creative team, and present to high-level executives.
The flexibility of the Creatis model has been a perfect fit for Aleks over the past 5 years, as she's been able to serve our clients with excellent work both in our offices and at our clients. We look forward to continuing to see how she grows and impacts Cargill as a Creatis employee.
