What began as an edgy, little package design studio grew into a full service creative firm producing branding, campaigns, publications, sales support materials and more—complete with promotional copywriting, photography, illustration, printing, and digital asset production. Together we develop fresh, rewarding solutions for our clients — solutions which have gained industry recognition more than 100 times by GDUSA, Marcom, Davey, Communicator, and others. Having a close-knit group means our clients get personalized attention with a refreshing perspective from a team that is truly their team. We listen, we ask questions, we dig in. Not only do we know our clients’ products and services deeply — our open style makes the creative process enjoyable and successful for all (It helps that we have really great clients!). And our clients tend to stay with us for a good, long time.

As a part of my mentoring work, I spent several years as an adjunct professsor. I structured classes and workshops to simulate a design studio and hosted special events featuring industry specialists to further expand student’s knowledge of the field. Helping students discover and develop their own unique style was incredibly rewarding. I enjoyed working with each individual to refine their skills, strengthen their portfolios, and prepare them for entry into the field.

Developing creative for national brand refreshes and new product launches with a solid, in-house team was fast-paced and exciting. Working closely with our gravure, offset, and flexographic printing plants and our structural engineers, I learned the ins and outs of flawless production. Brands included Klondike, Ferrero Rocher, Tic Tac, Poly-O, Publix, Comstock, Kidde, Spalding, and Dunlop. I art directed photo shoots, worked with illustrators, presented to clients, and was a key speaker at national sales meetings.
