I'm Gary Castelli, an award-winning Art Director with over 20 years of experience in pharmaceutical and healthcare advertising. I blend creative storytelling with regulatory compliance, delivering campaigns that engage audiences while upholding brand standards. I leverage AI, Adobe Creative Cloud, UX/UI practices, and digital publishing tools to transform complex medical content into clear, impactful visuals across digital and print channels. I've led cross-functional teams in fast-paced agency environments—collaborating with copywriters, scientists, engineers, and clinical reviewers—to produce award-winning work (including Genentech’s LUV Your Skin campaign, a Silver Clio). My projects span brand identity, product pages, and editorial platforms, where I emphasize user-friendly experiences, scalable content architecture, and data-informed optimization.
