AT A GLANCE
Safeway/Albertsons is a West Coast household name in grocery and they offer fresh products, reliable and competitive prices, and accessibility with their various channels to shop. The weekly circular ad is sent to 2.3 million households throughout Western Washington, Idaho, and Alaska and the Big Book of Savings is a monthly, digital savings guide. Both of these ads drive customer engagement and incentivize customers to shop and earn great deals in grocery.MY ROLE
I collaborate with the client (Safeway/Albertsons), Production Supervisor and director all while working on a small team to produce a 4–6 page weekly ad that is compelling, cohesive, and accurate in detail.BIG BOOK OF SAVINGS
(MONTHLY SAVINGS GUIDE)
I created the 2022 and 2023 Big Book Lunar New Year features and the creative was then translated into the circular ad and into in-store marketing collateral (clings, sign toppers, danglers) as well.

TAKEAWAYS
Iteration is the name of the game. While feedback and critique has always been vital to creative work, my role as Production Artist has made me become less sentimental about certain aspects of my own work. Working on five ads at a time, each in different proofing phases, has made me a more flexible and efficient designer.
Learning to illustrate in a manner that is more apt for design on newsprint in addition to screens has been crucial. There’s not much point in designing and creating an ad that is illegible nor inaccessible.
