Tricia Bateman Design

Tricia Bateman Design I help companies solve problems through design. Clients call me when they need a strategic collaborator, effective visual systems, and on-target concepts.

I’ve designed countless projects for a range of B2B companies in complex industries, from Fortune 500s to midsized companies with the occasional passion project for smaller nonprofits. This work ranges from developing single designs to whole design systems for a variety of industries. I’ve set and met objectives, deadlines and budgets for internal and external campaigns in both print and digital.

I frequently manage designers and vendors both face to face and remotely. Before working independently, I was the founding art director of the Knoxville Mercury. I’ve also worked as an art director at a branding agency, where my role included everything from helping rebrand a healthcare network to designing collateral for Fortune 500 companies. In addition, I’m the former art director at Writer’s Digest and HOW magazines. The latter role gave me a front-row seat to some of the best design and designers in the world and inspired me to make the jump to brand design.

Printmaking has been a passion of mine ever since high school when I got a screen printing kit for Christmas. For a while, I even thought I would become a full-time printmaker. I recently discovered a community printshop, took an enlightening workshop, and became a member.

Last weekend, I got away from my computer and printed a get out the vote poster. 15% of proceeds will go to two progressive East TN candidates. Michaela Barnett, PhD | Running for Congress in TN-02 Eliza Boles

For a whole 30 minutes this morning, I was fully caught up. That hasn't happened in about 5 months! I'm wrapping up 3 large projects over the next few weeks and will have a little capacity opening up in mid-April and more later in the summer. Got a brand, team, or project that would benefit from creative direction? Let's chat.

Not sure if that's what you need? Give this blog post a skim.

A fractional creative director might be your answer to marketing and branding roadblocks. See if any of these scenarios resonate with you.
