Tiffany Gabaldon

Associate Creative Director/Digital

Tiffany Gabaldon has over 10 years of industry experience, seven of which have been spent with AMG. Marketing is the latest in her long line of career paths, as she is, in fact, immortal. Born in 1524 in the highlands of Scotland (this explains her love of whiskey), she discovered her powers after being stabbed during battle with a rival tribe. In the late 1970s, she moved to the United States and settled in New York. A movie based on her life was released in 1986. She became bored with New York and moved to Texas – the hill country reminded her of home – where she attended the University of the Incarnate Word and received a BA in Computer Graphic Design. 

She is well-versed in designing for new media & web, along with creating award-winning campaigns for clients such as the South Texas Medical Center, San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo, Valero Alamo Bowl, Freetail Brewing Co. and the University of Texas at Brownsville. When she’s not designing killer marketing materials, Tiffany can be found playing with her chocolate labs, Jager and Shiner, and doing anything outdoors.

As a former reporter and editor for one of Texas’ most historic bilingual publications, Dennis covered sports, entertainment and politics. His assignments afforded him opportunities to interview some of his childhood idols like Nolan Ryan, Dan Rather and John Leguizamo.
