Austin-based creative director & multi-disciplinary designer with over 15 years of experience helping brands tell their stories.

I’ve had the opportunity to work with Craig for 10 years. The output of Craig’s work is easy to see. Whether it was print material, digital signage, video graphics, a C-level email memo, or a webpage design, Craig consistently brought new, fresh ideas and concepts to stakeholders ensuring the message that was trying to be delivered was done so with impact and clarity. Outside of the final output which can be seen by all, what can only be seen by those who collaborated with him was a colleague who intently listened, asked great clarifying questions, and was an all-around pleasure to work with. Craig can easily surpass your expectations of the picture in your head with his final deliverable. I’d welcome the opportunity to work with Craig again and recommend him without reservation.

I’ve worked with Craig for 11 years in Citi Media Services group. From day one, he was creative, savvy and added value to every situation. I engaged his design team for full-length animations, GFX templates for video series and a laundry list of other ad hoc deliverables. Additionally, Craig’s client service skills always fostered a positive dialogue with clients across functions and lines of business. In our demanding, fast-paced work environment his thoughtful nature and calm demeanor shined. Craig is a consummate professional, I would highly recommend working with him.

I’ve worked with Craig for over a decade, creating hundreds of 2D/3D animation projects. Both internal and external facing for Citi. I always felt like a true partner in the creative process. Craig has the ability to steer the design/concept in the right direction while promoting creative exploration from the team. His easy-going manner shows competence and confidence in leading the team in a wide variety of budgets and timelines. I always look forward to a Craig Vitello-led project.

I’ve known Craig for a decade and worked closely with him on countless projects. He is extremely effective leader and member of the Media Services design team. During our time working together he has helped manage projects, provided creative direction, clear feedback and support to manage stakeholder expectations. He is committed and passionate about what he does. He has helped the team countless times and kept a level head through it all. His ability to manage multiple projects in an organized and timely manner make him one of the best.

I definitely recommend working with Craig if you have the opportunity to make it happen. Very solid and creative art director, with a great understanding of interactive, branding, animated graphics, incorporating social media into design, and all around a very chill guy to work with. Also he can introduce you to more good music than you ever knew existed, just don’t try to tell him that every song written after 2002 is junk.

I had the pleasure of working with Craig for a few years at G2 direct & digital, where he managed our studio. I always found him to be calm, talented and hard working. He deftly handled a long stretch of months where we were understaffed in the studio with nary a complaint. And when we were able to build a bigger team under him, his skills as a manager really shined through. Add to all that the fact that he is a talented art director in his own right. Craig simply delivers everything one needs in a studio manager…and more.

Craig Vitello interned for my studio department right out of high school and was so talented and well liked he continued to intern every summer throughout his college career at Northeastern. He was then immediately hired full time as a Studio Artist after he completed his education. Craig is talented, reliable and overall has an exceptional work ethic. His talents range from design, production and web graphics. I would highly recommend Craig for any position in the graphic arts.
