About

For Tavis Salazar, a Senior Brand Executive and Creative Director now boasting over 30 years of experience in his field, the impulse for artistic expression has always been undeniable.

Early on, Tavis found himself compelled to create—he played guitar in garage bands, jotted poems on napkins, and discovered a knack for cooking. He's now a vinyl-addicted music lover, prolific show-goer, cocktail/cuisine aficionado, a minority owner of a distillery, and passionate all-around patron of the arts.

Tavis's creative capacity has inspired a lifelong professional pursuit of helping businesses express themselves, cultivating better relationships with their audiences, and driving returns through comprehensive brand development.

Tavis's strength lies not only in his visionary instincts but his effortless leadership style—he's a centering presence in the C-suite and understands instinctively how to build harmonious teams perfectly suited for the task at hand, then guide that team from conceptualization to completion, producing on-target results.

His natural talent has earned him opportunities to work on brands such as Bloomingdales, Bigelow Teas, Crabtree & Evelyn, Dillard’s, Lennar Homes, Macy’s, Humana, American Heart Association, Bacardi, Shaw Flooring, Guatemalan Tourism Board, Lynskey Performance, Kevin Murphy, BlueCross BlueShield, Naturopathica, Elliptic, Malin + Goetz, Gate 11 Distillery, Hirshleifers, Dee Ocleppo, Mielle Organics, Marla Aaron Jewelry, L’Oreal, Cumulus Coffee, and Suave Brands Co.

HOW: 
Pencil + Paper, Adobe Creative Suite, all that Microsoft stuff, a large pool of professional resources, and charm.

INSPIRATION: 
Music, movies, design, good food (cooking and eating), architecture, travel and family.
