Heather Gray

Hello, I’m Heather!

I am an award-winning Art Director and Graphic Designer with more than two decades of success in publishing, marketing, and creative leadership across print and digital media.

My drive to create isn’t a mystery. My dad was an art teacher, my mom a painter, and my grandmother a commercial artist. From an early age, I was a visual storyteller, going “beyond the assignment” to write and design reports.

After earning a BFA in Graphic Design from the University of Evansville, I led the digital media department at an advertising agency before serving as Art/Creative Director for a regional lifestyle magazine, where I shaped the visual strategy for publications, books, and custom print projects. Later, I became Creative Director and Content Editor for a national food media website and publication. Today, I hold the dual position of Senior Designer / Marketing and Communications Manager at Milepost.

My skill set extends far beyond design, so I’m known for wearing multiple hats in any given role. Over the course of my career I’ve led creative teams, crafted editorial and digital content strategies, managed social media, developed websites, written and edited articles, proofread (just call me “Eagle Eye”), directed photo/video shoots, occasionally illustrated, and even created logos out of food.

For a full career history, check out LinkedIn, or explore my portfolio for select projects.

When I’m not pushing pixels or pencils, you might find me painting in my home studio (gouache and watercolor), cuddling my three cats, gardening, collecting vintage goods, or treasure hunting on a beach somewhere.
