I'm Kevin Schmoll — Art Director and Creative Director with 20+ years building brands that aren't afraid to be remembered. Based in Charleston, SC. Working globally.
I work in brand identity, UX/UI, print, and illustration. I also run AI tools — Claude, Midjourney, Firefly, Runway ML, Stable Diffusion — as tools, not a crutch.
01Audit what exists. Find the gap. No assumptions — just truth about where your brand actually stands.
02Strategy before aesthetics. Positioning, voice, visual territory. North star before a single pixel moves.
03Build at speed without sacrificing craft. Concepts that solve problems — not just look good on Dribbble.
04Production-ready files, brand guidelines, and the knowledge to use them without calling me every week.

"Kevin could be counted on to get the work done, and done well. Deadlines, changes and tight budgets didn't hamper his efforts. He's a good guy with strong skills and work ethic."

"Kevin exceeded his role without hesitation, contributed strategically and creatively, worked cohesively with the entire team, and was always able to find a solution to even the most difficult client challenges."
"Kevin is a person of great integrity. He loves collaborating, and he does so with gusto, incurable curiosity and a winning attitude. Always fun to work with."
"Kevin is an incredibly talented and creative individual, capable of developing some of the most original and engaging advertising materials I have seen in my 20+ years in the industry."
