Creating a cohesive and consistent visual brand—while honoring the unique business model of independent/autonomous branch management—for the 7th largest foodservice supply company in North America has been a challenge and opportunity of creative growth in my career.As the first-ever Senior Brand Designer in Bargreen Ellingson’s 65-year history, I steward visual communications across 27 branches and 8 distribution centers in 9 US states and 1 Canadian province. I work to ensure brand consistency by designing collateral and assets, while also refining marketing operations and systems to support efficient workflow.At its core, my job is to support our teams reach their sales and support goals. Balancing when to add fuel to accelerate brand recognition and when to remove friction from the process, has allowed me to collaborate, educate, and empower our teams efficiently and effectively. At Bargreen Ellingson, we are driven by core values of teamwork, communication, continuous learning, and ownership. Adding these to a respect for the legacy of where Bargreen has come from, I am passionate about ensuring that our visual elements reflect our mission of serving those who serve others, while fostering brand growth and innovation.

There were no two days alike. One minute it's strategy alignment with the sales team or account managers, the next it's redesigning a PowerPoint being used on stage in front of the world's top HR executives, and maybe ending with copy editing emails, press releases or creating social media graphics. But what they all have in common, is telling the story of how people practices correlate to bottom line, productivity, innovation, and great talent experiences at high-performance organizations.i4cp saw record growth in both revenue, membership and our team went from 1 to 6 in three years. I developed creative strategy and executed in the specific areas of presentation and collateral design, SEO, targeted development campaigns, event management--including the Next Practices Now annual conference, 4-6 major research releases per year, brand shepherding between research products and marketing pieces, conduct internal training with sales and membership teams all over the country. But before going remote full-time it wouldn’t be unheard of to see me doing the dishes in the sink or packing and shipping materials for an event.
