Giant Advertising & Design is the freelance ‘enterprise’
of art director, Helen Finkenstaedt. 
With almost two decades of experience
in brand communication, advertising, graphic design and art direction, Helen’s work spans many creative disciplines. She has created award-winning design, identity and communication campaigns for well known clients including:
THX, Epson, Ridley Scott & Associates, Stanford University, Seiko, and Hewlett Packard.

After having worked in the position of designer and art director at several agencies in London, Washington D.C., and Northern California, she decided it was time to set out as a solo designer and in 2009, Giant Advertising & Design was born.

THE JOB OF THE DESIGNER IS TO LISTEN, LEARN,
UNDERSTAND, AND GAIN AN INSIGHT IN ORDER TO
MAKE SOMETHING ONCE INVISIBLE, VISIBLE.

about

"I feel it's important to get people
as excited about design as I am at the
start of the project. I want my clients to feel
involved in the creative process. I feel that way,
they walk away happy and we've created a
successful product, together."

“Helen is a fantastic collaborator. She is a very creative and experienced designer who listens
carefully to the client’s needs. She is exceptionally pleasant and professional in all our dealings.
I have complete confidence in her and hope we have the opportunity to work together again soon.”

 


Becky Bartindale/Marketing Director, Foothill College, Los Altos, CA

“A truly creative and imaginative individual, Helen has proven herself time and time again to be one of
our most invaluable assets. She is a collaborative and flexible designer who listens carefully and delivers
something that far exceeds expectations. Her keen attention to detail and workmanship is much appreciated.
I only wish she could be our in-house designer!”


Patti Ibanez/Marketing Director, Go Film, Los Angeles, CA

“Helen is one of the most talented designers I’ve worked with in my 15 year career. She is creative,
thinks out of the box and understands the products, and audience. She is diligent in her communication
with clients and always delivers on time and on budget.”


Sheryl Lane/Marketing Director, Turnstone Systems, Santa Clara, CA
