My name is Nicole Wendel and I am the Senior Graphic Designer at iHeartMedia in New York City. I have over six years of graphic design and multimedia experience. I approach my daily tasks as a blank canvas. I understand how to design creative that people want to see and share. During my time with iHeartMedia, I have been presented with many opportunities to over deliver on projects and exceed the expectations of my coworkers and our clients.  I have take on the responsibilities of an art director as I work closely with our sales, programming and marketing teams to execute creative concepts and designs for a variety of projects such as, sales presentations, outdoor billboards, event logos, on-site activation design and execution, digital assets and more. I have worked closely with our print and production vendors to execute all create artwork such as program guides, credential passes, client artwork and collateral for events, and further print and marketing materials.

As the lead graphic designer of our local New York team, I have worked on several individual and team-oriented projects ranging form identity branding and creative promotion materials to web design, typography, digital illustration, multimedia work and creative conceptualization. I am resourceful, compliant and self-directed with the ability to consistently create innovative solutions and learn quickly. I am adaptive to new programs and technology. My experience combined with my design expertise and creative talents allow me to be a successful member and leader of my design team. Among many strengths, I have the ability to manage competing priorities in a complex environment and maintain high productivity. My strong communication, organization, interpersonal and managerial skills benefit my ability to work quickly and effectively. 

While my age and years of corporate experience may be perceived as a detriment, it should be viewed as an asset. I am highly creative in both design and conceptualization. I am eager to accomplish multiple high priority tasks while maintaining control and successful design. My current experience consists of creative direction with our sales, programming, marketing and promotions teams. I collaborate with our Account Executives to brainstorm ideas for digital campaigns, on-site activation and other marketing and advertising materials for their clients. I work closely with our Marketing Director and Programming Directors to conceptualize and execute design for digital and marketing campaigns of our six local radio stations. I assist our national team on projects for iHeartRadio. I also work with other markets within the company on multi-market campaigns.
