My Present
Hi, my name is Alfredo Lopez and I am Northrop & Johnson’s Creative Services Director. My job is to manage and direct N&J’s creative team and manage our overall brand presence. My position is unique as it gives me the opportunity to constantly push the envelope and create new ways to present the Northrop & Johnson brand and services. It is a very versatile role that touches every single division of the company in one way or the other; there is never a dull moment. Catering to a specific clientele comprised of people who are used to the very best and have access to anything they desire represents a challenge, but it is this very challenge that keeps us evolving and raising the bar constantly, so it is a challenge I embrace. In my eight years at N&J, I have been fortunate to watch the company continue to grow, succeed and exceed expectations.
My Past
I grew up in Mexico and moved to Dallas, TX to finalize my Graphic Arts and Advertising degree when I was 20 years old. After moving to Fort Lauderdale, I attained a degree in Industrial Design and after graduating worked as an industrial designer for several years. This experience gave me the opportunity to design customer products that I would then see be brought to life at stores such as Target, Costco, Walmart and Apple
Having spent the first four years of my life on the coast of the Sea of Cortez, I always had a passion for our oceans, but it was only until I was a teenager that I stepped on a boat for the first time. It was then that I discovered that there is no better time than time spent on the water. Kevin Merrigan opened the door for me to move to N&J from another yachting firm. His upbeat personality and clear vision for the company made it easy for me to make the move.
My Future
I strive to keep N&J at the forefront when it comes to marketing our clients’ yachts and N&J’s services. It is nice to see the competition following our steps while we are already working on the next new thing.
My Motto
Be present and make the most of every opportunity.
My Outside-office Life
My favorite roles outside my professional life are being a father to my gorgeous and kind-hearted daughter Valeria, a husband to my beautiful and extremely fun wife Jacquie and a friend to a carefully curated group of people that I’ve had the fortune of meeting along different paths of my life.
