CHICAGO – Design-driven production company Sarofsky (www.sarofsky.com) has added creative director Stefan Draht to its full-time staff. Draht has spent the past five years building his freelance career and has become a sought-after designer and creative director. In addition to contributing to projects for Sarofsky, he has provided groundbreaking UI/UX design to help Northern Trust Corp. create next-generation digital experiences.
Through his work for Marvel Studios and major global brands, Draht helped land Cannes Lions and Emmy Awards, among others. He studied computer animation and fine art at DePaul University, giving him strong technical and creative foundations.
"Adding another creative director is not a decision that is made lightly," notes principal and executive creative director Erin Sarofsky. "That person has to be an exact right fit in all the ways. They need to be a creative genius, technically superior, stylistically well rounded, thoughtful, a clear communicator, a mentor, an advocate for the clients' needs, and be in-sync with me - yet still have their own opinions and perspectives. And after all these years, I am absolutely sure that Stefan is the perfect addition to the studio."
