Founder + Design Director

Prior to establishing Yvette Craddock Designs, Yvette enjoyed success in the media/advertising industry and the Fortune 500 arenas. Her professional career began in Los Angeles, working in Fortune 500 international business with a focus on the Asia Pacific Region.

She departed her Fortune 500 world to embark on her creative career working in the luxury furniture industry for The Giorgio Collection. In this role, she worked directly with the namesake designer to plan gallery spaces, design lifestyle vignettes as well as create and implement international marketing campaigns. She oversaw the relocation of the Hi-Point, North Carolina showroom which included tripling the floor space and expanding the furniture collections. During her tenure, she had the privilege of working with the industry’s creative and business leaders including the legendary icon Vladimir Kagan.

After leaving The Giorgio Collection, she began working in the media and advertising industry. She worked for almost every major media network in a sales and marketing role securing millions of dollars in non-traditional revenue through her creative business-centric concepts.

  • This included designing private-label campaigns for nearly every major national advertising agency as well as designing and executing campaigns for 10% of the world’s largest brands.

    Her stellar reputation led to the establishment of Click Marketing Solutions, one of the only woman-owned agencies in the country. Click Marketing Solutions was an Arizona-based, award-winning marketing firm known for its brand development and management expertise along with its ability to solve complex issues through acute instinct, marketing acumen, proven innovation, and diverse creativity. Click gained national and international recognition.

    Yvette’s tenure in the industry included multiple media appearances and experience in front and behind the camera.

She is also a TV producer and host developing episodic programs around art, culture, and diversity. She has also been the pioneering influence on a variety of boards.
