Creative Director
Tricia Pina
Creative Director
Tricia has been with Affordable Image for over fifteen years, starting as a graphic designer and moving into the role of Art Director before taking on managing the full creative team. Her love of art started early and in high school she started taking classes focused heavily on art, photography, and graphic design. She attended the Art Institute of Phoenix, graduating with highest honors and winning both the Student and Faculty Awards for Best Portfolio.
When working with a client, Tricia is passionate about truly understanding the motivation and desired goals of that client before committing to any design elements. She is known for asking a multitude of questions so she can ensure that the product we put forward will not only reflect the feeling and design aesthetic of the client but also speak to their target demographic. A perfectionist by nature, she takes these high standards and works with her team to create an atmosphere of creativity with an underlying desire to create the best campaigns possible.
Tricia spent most of her formative years in Kenya and uses her international experience to tap into a multitude of design styles and inspirations. She is also an instructor at Phoenix College, passing on her love of graphic design to the next generation. Her husband, Jeff, is a comic book writer and illustrator so there is no aspect of her life where art does not play a major role. At home, Tricia stays busy with her toddler daughter, Ella while pretending that she still has time for photography and sewing, not to mention getting lost in a good book.
“I love diving into a project and really hearing the emotion that needs to be conveyed through design. My favorite part of the job is taking a theory, a feeling, and turning it into something tangible and real that exceeds the client’s expectations.”

Cody Lawrence
Art Director
Cody Lawrence
Art Director
It was probably a hot, sunny day at an unnamed art school in Tempe, AZ way back in the summer of 1996. That’s where Cody’s graphic design adventure begins. Working at various design jobs - a sign shop, t-shirt shop, and a recording studio - gathering immense knowledge and experience he landed at Dex (aka the yellow pages, US West, Qwest) working directly with clients and fine-tuning his design skills. After eleven years and countless memories, it was time to move on (by force of course, not because he wanted to, it was a good gig) as was most of the company in 2008.
Skipping ahead a few years to the Fall of 2012, our hero’s fortunes change yet again. That’s when he came to Affordable Image and the rest, as they say, is history. Always being challenged by co-workers and clients is just what he needed to succeed. Working with clients on branding and other assorted projects keeps his design motor running and the idea that they are all different in their respective backgrounds, concepts, and vision makes every day exciting.
Cody enjoys all of your regular activities such as horseback riding, sunsets, and...wait no he doesn’t, he likes to watch movies and sports (no basketball though), BBQing, and attempting to figure out how to play a guitar. He also enjoys his lovely spouse, three kids, and the grandson.
"I can’t wait to get started on your project and help your vision and dreams come to life. Talk to you soon!"
