With over a decade of experience in design, I founded Edington Studio, focusing on creating strong brand identities and marketing strategies. My role as co-owner of Quell, an art supply eCommerce lifestyle brand, demonstrates my commitment to making art accessible to everyone.Previously, I served as the Chief Marketing Officer at Island Brands USA, where I applied my design skills to enhance marketing strategies and worked with notable clients like Audi and Smuckers. This role helped me refine my ability to merge creative design with effective marketing tactics.An important milestone in my career was founding, building, and eventually selling Puddle Pirate, a lifestyle brand specifically designed for Coast Guard members and veterans. This experience not only honed my entrepreneurial skills but also deepened my understanding of niche marketing and community engagement.Currently, I'm focusing on leveraging my background in design and marketing towards creative direction, aiming to help brands communicate their messages clearly and effectively to their target audiences.
