I’m Laine—senior art director with 11+ years 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.
My kind of leadership comes with rolled-up sleeves. I’m happiest in the thick of it, tackling the seemingly impossible while championing the creatives around me to do things their way. Bonus points if we’re laughing through the chaos.
“Without a doubt, Laine is the most talented art director I’ve had the pleasure of working with. Her skills, both technical and conceptual, are unmatched. But it’s not her talent alone that sets Laine apart. It’s her unwavering support for her team.
Day or night, Laine is the person you know you can depend on. It’s her focus on encouragement; she never lets a win go by without congratulating her team and taking the time to celebrate and compliment, a true rarity in such a fast-paced industry.”

“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.”
A Method to the Madness
I’m obsessed with the human hand in creative work, but I’m not precious about how we get there.
I’ll build it, shoot it, design it, fake it, prototype it, or dive headfirst into something I’ve never tried before if that’s what the idea needs.
The craft matters. The method is up for grabs.
Thanks for visiting!
