the team
Heather Loftiss
What started as a branding campaign for Water Design Studio evolved into a new way of approaching brands, marketing and advertising. She helps companies to identify and align their personal values with their professional values in a cohesive fashion. Their brand voice and message is created naturally as a result.
Matt Loftiss
The creative director of Water Design Studio, Matt is a designer, an illustrator, a marketing expert, a terrible jazz guitarist, and second place winner of Studio Smackdown. His work is showcased monthly by the Houston Advertising Federation and can be found on countless consumer products.
David Brahm
With over 25 years of executive experience, Dave brings in marketing, engineering and corporate quality management in high tech manufacturing and service industries. He holds 8 patents and has guided several companies through the ISO 9000/9001 quality certification process. He’s excited about being at the forefront of the metamorphosis of marketing and management from an art to a science, and considers this analogous to the evolution of computer science that he experienced through the 70’s and 80’s.
Sara Wingfield
In 1988 Sara’s dad brought home an Apple IIe and she’s been hooked on computers ever since. With expertise in all things web and interactive, Sara combines the beauty of design with the brawn of technical know-how. She’s worked on projects for Toshiba, American Heart Association, Chili’s, and many more. After hours, her passion is good jazz music, good food, and a helpless addiction to World of Warcraft.
Jamie Gonzales
Jamie Gonzales graduated from Texas Tech cum laude in design communications. She brings over 7 years experience in both the corporate and the advertising world, having worked for fortune 500 companies. She really LOVES ponies, going on long bike rides in the park and excels at play-doh sculpture.
the minions
We also employ a small staff of part timers, freelancers, and interns for marketing, copy writing, design, production and other duties. We love them and would be remiss to not acknowledge their indispensable contributions to the studio.
