HOW WE WORK
Our mission is to provide clients with the knowledge and tools to consistently express their brand, sell products and services, and communicate ideas. Our process is clear, simple and collaborative. We pride ourselves on delivering work that everyone is proud of, and happy to have been involved in creating. It is our hope that clients enjoy the experience of working with us.
EDUCATIONALLY FOCUSED
We love seeing children explore, create, learn and follow their curiosity—it is important work. That is why we pour our hearts into developing educationally focused games, coloring books, puzzles, toys, craft and building kits. It’s satisfying to design a product, then name, brand, and package it, but rewarding to see it in the hands of a child.
FOOD OBSESSED
Combining my passion for food with designing beautiful packaging is a sweet spot. I have a long history of designing beautiful, eye-catching, and award winning packaging for some of the largest food companies. I have packaged pizzas, entrees, side dishes, wine, spices, coffee, food gift sets and home brewing kits, and a slew of private label products.
DESIGN TO CREATE A STIR
I help businesses discover and leverage their mission, vision, and uniqueness through research, strategy, branding, packaging and marketing communications. Together, we discover how to delight customers, empower employees and engage with their community by:
• Creating and sharing the story of their business journey
• Understanding short and long term goals
• Defining business mission, vision and value statements
• Getting to the heart of their unique customers
• Stirring audiences and giving back to your community
• Embracing and uplifting a diverse workplace culture
I’ve worked with corporations, non-profits, entrepreneurs, product development teams and organizations to help them stand out from crowded marketplaces.
Let’s design to create a stir!
