Dear Spotify Hiring Team,
I'm applying for the Creative Lead, Visual Merchandising role. My work centres on the same tension this role sits on: creative systems that scale across markets and teams while staying one brand.
As Head of Brand at Perlego, I built the brand function from zero — running discovery across 25+ stakeholders into a Brand Compass Framework, then shipping a four-language homepage redesign validated through research and A/B testing.
As Art Director for Ford Motor Co, I unified four innovation labs under one visual identity and component library, adopted across all locations and approved by the C-suite.
As Creative Director for NPO Abu Dhabi, I conceived "Emirati Editions" — a documentary ecosystem extended into a five-piece merchandise line with named artists, a model for scaling content into product.
This role speaks to where Spotify sits right now: as community-driven culture reshapes content creation, visual design becomes the language that holds it together. That's the intersection I want to work in.
I'd love to share with you how I see this role taking shape in the coming months.
