I am an independent design consultant with over 30 years of package design, strategy and creative management experience that ranges across the CPG spectrum of national brands, niche brands and private label brands. I emphasize a process and design vision that seeks to elevate the brand and enhance client success. I believe that something worth shopping for should please the eye, tell a story and make an impression. Packaging does this in a powerful way, and on many levels. I have worked for design agencies in New York and Connecticut and have helped to launch brands for clients across North America as well as Norway, Eastern Europe and South Africa. I studied design at Rhode Island School of Design, and graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. My work has won awards from Graphic Design USA and PL Buyer.
