Rhea Hanges


Creative Director / Art


Rhea who? 

(rhea:RAY-AH)

I care a lot about what I do and the people around me. My passion is finding the truth, and telling it through creativity.
I’m a brand builder, storyteller, idea generator, collaborator, partner, mentor, and look and feels maker.

I started my career in 2003 as an Art Director.
In years to follow, working with  DDB, McCann Health, mcgarrybowen, JWT Germany, Havas Worldwide, BBDO, Periscope, Saatchi & Saatchi, VaynerMedia, Droga5.

Some of my proudest accomplishments came from working on the briefs no one else wanted to touch.
Making something great under the radar.

My work has been published in Cannes, D&AD, and Luezer’s Archive.

In my after work hours I was a long-standing teacher at the Miami Ad School in Europe and North America where I grew and developed talent.

I live in Astoria Queens with my tiny dog @BeauBaeBebe.
In my free time, dedicated to sports and nutrition always training at the gym.
