Heather Ruddock
Creative Director
On the Job:I began working at exploreMedia in April 2012. I took a class in college to help me declare a major and I landed on Graphic Design. Luckily, I ended up enjoying my classes and decided to pursue it for a career. Throughout my courses, I became very interested in magazine layout and design, so my goal was to find a job working for a magazine publisher and to hopefully someday become an Art Director. I was very blessed to be hired at exploreMedia and fulfill my goals.
My favorite part of this job is that my day is never the same. I like being able to work on different things and stretch my creativity. There is also a lot of problem solving with design and other parts of my job, and I like that challenge.
All About Me:I received my Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Design from Auburn University Montgomery. I’m an only child, and I have a dog named Cinder that I adopted from the shelter. In my free time, I love to spend time with my family and friends. I’m a laid back person, so I like to swim, watch television and occasionally play video games. I also like to get out and explore and try new things when I get the chance.
