Korry Richards is a creative director and designer located in Atlanta, Georgia. Since 2009, Korry has worked with a wide range of companies as their Creative director, from eVestment, a financial investment software company, to most recently Authentique, a marketing agency headquartered in Atlanta, Ga. As the Creative Designer at eVestment, he was tasked with developing brand strategy and designing brand assets, including a logo, style guide, responsive marketing website, and all other brand collateral for a company that he watched grow from 25 to over 500 people. His opportunity to work at Authentique is quite different but has given him more leadership opportunities, asking him to manage an in-house creative team of four with a handful of contractors while increasing his flexibility to create innovative solutions in a wide range of disciplines and brands. His most recent projects range from packaging solutions with Puma, influencer strategies with Vogue, and live event experience design with RedBull.
He graduated from North Carolina State University and specializes in branding and identity, ideation, strategy and positioning, concept development, and art direction. While freelancing as much as possible, he has been exposed to a wide range of Print, web, and App Design, editorial, and publishing, along with Product and Packaging design. His full portfolio is at www.krdzn.com.
Ideation and collaboration are his weapons of choice when it comes to problem solving. His design theory is based on communication and focuses on how it drives innovation. This theory permeates his social life, where he focuses on communication with his coworkers and friends. Working in a creative environment is something he thrives on, and he looks forward to taking on design challenges every day.
On a more personal note, Korry is married and has two Yorkies. He is in the middle of building his dream home and also serves as a producer at Studio Approach. He loves playing and coaching basketball and has a podcast he records with one of his favorite designers, Chris Owens.
