TM Advertising today announced that it has hired Tricia Desjardins as art director. Prior to joining TM, Desjardins was at Saatchi & Saatchi in Los Angeles where she helped develop both traditional and interactive work for the launch of the new 2009 Toyota Matrix among other notable campaigns.

“Tricia is remarkably talented and a great addition to our team,” said Jim Walker. “Her extensive experience in both the automotive industry and nontraditional advertising will make her an invaluable asset to the agency.”

“It’s great to be in Dallas and working with such a tremendously talented and diverse team at TM Advertising,” said Desjardins. “Jim (Walker) and Tom (Hansen) have created an agency that’s truly integrated and one that support a cross-discipline approach to marketing. It made my decision to leave L.A. and move to Dallas for a new post an easy one.”

Desjardins is a graduate of Appalachian State University where she earned a B.S. degree in advertising and a minor in studio art. Following undergraduate school, Tricia attended the Creative Circus portfolio school in Atlanta.
