Hi, I’m Tori Ray! I’m a creative professional with 16 years of experience developing print and digital visual communication materials. I spent the early part of my career photographing ad campaigns and social content for coastal apparel and beauty brands. During the pandemic I leaned into my graphic design degree and found my footing in the corporate world designing brand suites, retail signage, packaging, advertisements, websites, and marketing emails. I’m currently working at my “pinch-me” company, Patagonia, as a Product Photo Retoucher and Asset Manager for the Wholesale Division’s Pre-Season Online Catalog.
Notable photography accomplishments: Contracted to create content for Volcom Women’s, Spell Designs, Pura Vida Bracelets, Osea Skincare, Lsea Swimwear, Arnhem Clothing, and more. 2 Void Magazine Covers; The 2018 Photo Issue and The 2018 Swim Issue. Editorials featured in various fashion, travel, surfing and climbing publications. 3 images curated by VSCO Selects.
Notable design accomplishments: Promoted from Graphic Designer to Art Director within 1.5 years of working at Hybrid Design. Lead and mentored a team of 3 graphic designers. Worked with the agency’s production and publication vendors to find cost effective solutions on time and under budget for our clients.
