Hello.
My name is Flerida Vanderslice. I'm a freelance Art Director and Graphic Designer with over 25 years of experience.
I have worked at a broad spectrum of companies ranging from a small two-person advertising agency to
working full-time as an Art Director & Senior Graphic Designer at Eastman Kodak Company. I currently freelance for several
advertising agencies and companies in the Triad. My projects range from logo design and branding to magazine publications
and catalog design to web graphics. I also design very impactful PowerPoint presentations. Please call me if you need help
designing a project from concept to completion or if your agency needs some extra help to make those almost impossible deadlines.
When I am not in front of a computer, I enjoy spending time with my kids, relaxing
at the beach, hiking, baking and devouring decadent chocolate desserts. I also enjoy running a few times a week.
I am currently an Art Director at 54 Brands which is one of a collections of agencies that is part of The Buffalo Groupe. Some of my previous positions
include: Art Director and Senior Graphic Designer at Eastman Kodak Company, Graphic Designer at DEDON, Contract Art Director at Pace Communications
and Graphic Designer in the Marketing Department at Pelton & Crane. I have freelanced for small and large advertising agencies.
I have worked on projects for GolfNow, Ortholite, High Point University, Carlson Rezidor Hotel Group, Hallmark, Tempur+Sealy, AAALiving Magazine, Our State Magazine,
Four Seasons Magazine, Club Car, Young America by Stanley Furniture and several local churches in the Triad.

I can honestly say that without her my business would not be where it is today. If you are looking for someone who ALWAYS delivers and NEVER disappoints, this is an art director you need to get to know. I am so grateful to have been able to work with her over the years. Flerida is a true professional.”
“Flerida Vanderslice has been a unparalleled resource for me. She can immediately understand and embrace an objective, roll up her sleeves and pull hard as a team player. She has great taste with design, a completely accommodating attitude, a mind that thrives when coordinating a tangle of details, and a work ethic that is a thing of beauty. I would recommend Flerida whole heartedly as a designer that can be depended on to deliver at all levels — with top shelf work done ahead of schedule — and is a true pleasure to know and work with. A gem!!”
“I come to Flerida whenever I need a freelancer because she always delivers above and beyond what is asked of her, and it is always on time. She is a great combination of creativity and professionalism. When I need things done right the first time, she is always who I call first. Flerida is very easy to work with, always accommodating, even when given insane deadlines. She does everything with a smile on her face and is really a great person to be around, in or out of the office. I would highly recommend her for any design job based on her level of expertise as well as her easy to work with personality.”
