I’m Laine—senior art director with over a decade of agency experience turning big ideas into bold, scroll-stopping work. My approach blends strategy, sharp visuals, and creative subversion—landing somewhere between “that’s smart” and “who approved this?” (in the best way).
I obsess over type. I overthink color. I chase concepts with personality—textured, instinctive, a little unruly. Precision matters. So does surprise.
When I’m not shaping work that refuses to sit still, I teach design and illustration at Southern Methodist University, helping students find their voice—and refining my own in the process.

“Exceptional taste. Extraordinary talent. Laine Dorsey is, in a word, an artist. As an art director and illustrator who has worked on my team for nearly five years, Laine has consistently delivered wildly original ideas that are on strategy – and executed to perfection. She’s not only a future creative director, but likely a film director, too. I’ve enjoyed every minute collaborating, concepting, editing, and producing with Laine.”
