DALLAS—Personal lubricant manufacturer Sliquid has added digital, print and illustration artist Kyleah Orwig to its marketing team.
Orwig, or “Ky” as she is more fondly referred to, is new to the world of pleasure products. She majored in Illustration and minored in Digital Media at Kendall College of Art and Design in Grand Rapids, Michigan and went on to take on several pivotal positions that helped to cultivate her natural abilities as a multi-faceted artist. Working for both a local news station and newspaper publisher, Orwig created custom images, animations and maps to fit her producer’s requests at the television station while also executing the layout design of the daily newspaper.
She later earned the title of Producer and was tasked with creating the morning headlines, tag promos and all show promos for the station’s morning shows.
“We searched high and low to ensure that we filled this position with someone we believe has the chops to elevate our imagery and storytelling,” said Dean Elliott, founder and CEO of Sliquid. “If there’s one thing I know how to do well it’s finding talented people and drawing the best out of them. From the first time I chatted with Ky, she was guiding me through all her previous work in her amazing portfolio and it quickly became clear that we were onto something good!”
He added: “And being a tight-knit group that works so well together, her sweet and quirky demeanor is a great fit with our entire team. We are happy to have her joining the Sliquid family."
In her position as the company’s new Digital + Print Artist, Orwig will use her design and illustration skills to craft interesting and effective print and digital advertisements, campaigns and other marketing pieces. Her duties include assisting the marketing team in the creation of still photography and video content on both the production and editing side of projects.
“I am thrilled to welcome Ky to my team,” said Erik Vasquez, Marketing Director for Sliquid. “In the short time we have been working together, she has proven herself to be super smart and creative, as well as a very dedicated worker with a drive for perfection in everything she produces. I am very impressed with her attention to the small details that can take a piece of work from good to great."
Vasquez added: “With her wide-ranging skillset in everything from illustration to video editing to graphic design, I know that her contributions will play an essential part in shaping the future of our brand story.”
Orwig said she was looking forward to contributing to Sliquid's marketing efforts:
"It’s exciting to be joining one of the most highly-respected brands in the lubricant and sexual wellness space. Having the chance to work alongside such a fun-loving, progressive-thinking group of creative people is a dream come true. I am so honored that Sliquid has chosen me for this opportunity and I am looking forward to carving out this new path in my career and growing with the brand.”
