You may know me as Rose Rosenhauer or Rose Toal, either way, you’re in the right place.

I’m an art director and creative leader thriving in Atlanta, Georgia. I consider myself a fourth-order designer, delving into the intricate design of environments and systems that shape our world. My approach involves understanding core ideas, values, rules, and paradigms, ensuring that my design thinking goes beyond conventional boundaries.

I’m not just a problem solver; I creatively define challenges. Design, to me, is both a catalyst and a consequence, propelling us toward constructive or destructive trajectories. I acknowledge design’s influence in shaping culture, perception, and the economic landscape, understanding its role in perpetuating societal norms and contributing to environmental challenges.

I started my career in the fast-paced world of design agency work before transitioning to in-house art direction. I also bring my leadership home with me where I serve on the neighborhood board and zoning committee. Although I love my service, I often enjoy getting away to play with my cats and care for my impressive houseplant collection while listening to audiobooks on loan from my public library.
